Answer:

Account Titles                   Debit      Credit

Depreciation Expense      10,000

Accumulated Depreciation             10,000

Explanation:

Depreciation is the actual decrease in the value of an asset. The asset is depreciated on its useful life on by a fixed percentage of carrying value.

Original Cost of Truck = $48,000

Estimated useful Life = 4 years

Estimated Salvage Value = $8,000

Formula for straight line depreciation is

Depreciation per year =( Cost of Asset - salvage value ) / useful life

Depreciation per year = ( $48,000 - $8,000 ) / 4 years

Depreciation per year = 10,000 per year

$10,000 will be charged every year for 4 years.
