    Answer and Explanation:

    The Journal entry is shown below:-

    No journal entry related to change

    Adjusting entry for depreciation expense will be made at end of December 31,2016

    Working note:-

    Assets cost $2,784,000

    Less:Accumulated depreciation $1,959,000

    Book value as on Jan 1,2016 $825,000

    less : Estimated residual value $216,000

    Depreciated over the remaining

    3 years $609,000

    Depreciation expense

    under straight line $203,000

    ($203,000 : 3)

    Depreciation expense $203,000

    To Accumulated depreciation equipment $203,000

    (Being depreciation expense is recorded)

    Therefore for recording the depreciation we simply debited the depreciation expense and credited the accumulated depreciation equipment.
