Credit Accumulated Depreciation $5,000

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement over the estimated useful life of that asset.

It is determined as the depreciable value of the asset over the estimated useful life of the asset where the depreciable value is the difference between the cost and salvage value of the asset

Mathematically,  

Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Estimated useful life

Annual depreciation = (80000 - 16000)/8

= $8,000

Between July 1, 2019 and January 1 , 2022 is 2.5 years

Carrying amount of asset = $80,000 - 2.5($8,000)

= $60,000

If the company estimated the remaining useful life to be 10 years beyond December 31, 2022 and the salvage value is estimated to be $5,000, then

Depreciation = ($60,000 - $5,000)/11

= $5,000
