Explanation / Answer

Dearstudents ...Thanks for using chegg...

Entry for depreciation is depreciation expense dr 6,400 To Accumulated depreciation 6,400 which you have done correctly.

But when you prepare T Account for Equipment , Beginning balance would be 32,000 and there would be no entry in the T Account. Thus ending balance would also be 32,000

But when you prepare T Account for Acc dep , Beginning balance would be 0, entry would be for 6,400 and ending balance would be 6,400 as shown below
