Allison Hurst · Answer 1

A Depreciation Expense: $ 22,000; Accumulated Depreciation: $110,000

Explanation:

Given that

Purchase cost of equipment = $260,000

Depreciation at the beginning of year 2016 = $88,000

Depreciation expense = $22,000

So, the balance would be

Depreciation expense = $22,000

And, the accumulated depreciation is

= Depreciation expense + Depreciation at the beginning of year 2016

= $22,000 + $88,000

= $110,000
