Depreciation is a way not only to recognize the lost value over time of an asset, but also a way to recognize the expense of the asset over time. To this end, we want to see the value of the asset get smaller, and a piece of the asset on the the income statement ever period.
The depreciation base is 95,000 -5,000 = 90,000, and the depreciation period is 90,000/15,000 = 6 years.
The journal entry every year will be
Dec. 31
Debit: Depreciation expense 15,0000
Credit: Accumulated Depreciation (15,000)
Accumulated depreciation is a *contra-asset* account on the balance sheet that reduces the value of the the depreciable asset.

True
Explanation:
LIFO is in fact, only allowed to be used in the United States, because under the new IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), the used of LIFO has been prohibited.
The reason for this, is that LIFO inflates the value of inventory, because the (usually) lower cost of old inventory is what is reported.
This is why companies using LIFO are obliged to report the hypothetical value of the inventories had they used FIFO.
Answer:
The account balance after 4 years will be $2,420.
Explanation:
First we need to add Bob and Judy's amount to find the total amount that will be deposited. (1260+975)=2,235.
Now we will break up the annual interest into monthly interest because it will be compounded monthly. 2/12=0.166.
Then we will break up the 4 years into months also because the interest is compounded monthly. 4*12=48
Now we use the formula for compound interest
Final amount = Principal*(1+R)^N
Principal = 2,235
R= 0.166% or 0.00166
N= 48
We put these values into our formula
2,235*(1+0.00166)^48
=2,420
