*Depreciation expense for the year.

All plant assets are depreciated on the straight-line basis (no residual value taken into consideration) based on the following estimated service lives: building, 25 years; all other items, 10 years. The companys policy is to take one half-years depreciation on all asset additions and disposals during the year.

Your audit revealed the following information:

The company completed the construction of a wing on the plant building on June 30. The service life of the building was not extended by this addition. The lowest construction bid received was $25,000, the amount recorded in the Buildings account. Company personnel constructed the addition at a cost of $20,500 (materials, $9,000; labor, $7,000; and overhead, $4,500).
On August 18, $6,500 was paid for paving and fencing a portion of land owned by the company and used as a parking lot for employees. The expenditure was charged to the Land account.
The amount shown in the machinery and equipment asset retirement column represents cash received on September 5 upon disposal of a machine purchased in July 20X2 for $59,000. The chief accountant recorded depreciation expense of $4,400 on this machine in 20X6.
Harbor City donated land and a building appraised at $250,000 and $550,000, respectively, to Micro Corporation for a plant. On September 1, the company began operating the plant. Since no costs were involved, the chief accountant made no entry for the above transaction.

Required:

Prepare the adjusting journal entries that you would propose at December 31, 20X6, to adjust the accounts for the above transactions. Disregard income tax implications. The accounts have not been closed. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Do not round any division. Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount.)
