    Apologies if this comes across as very straightforward and simple. I’m looking at some double entry test questions.

    Q: During the year, Ferguson made the following accounting entries to account for the depreciation charge relating to motor vehicles:

    – Debit Accumulated depreciation – motor vehicles $5,000
    – Credit Depreciation expense – motor vehicles $5,000

    A:

    – Debit Depreciation expense $10,000
    – Credit Accumulated depreciation $10,000

    Am I right in saying that the above answer is a correction, as in it’s cancelling out the incorrect booking made by Ferguson and then accounting for it correctly?

    Yes – what you have written is correct 🙂

    The answer is the correcting entry.
