1. Depreciation for the year 2013

Building =   $500,000/25  * 9/12=   $15,000

Machinery = ($240,000- 24,000)/8*3/12  +  ($140,000 - 14,000)/8*6/12 = $14,625

Equipment =  6/21 *(160,000 -13,000)*9/12  =  $31,500

2.   Journal entries

 Date          Description                                              DR                      CR
