Solution

The depreciation on computer equipment will be entered in the General Journal as the book of first entry. So, the correct answer is a. General Journal.

Here's why:

The General Journal is used for recording non-routine transactions, adjustments and corrections in the financial statements, including depreciation. Depreciation is not a cash transaction, so it wouldn't be recorded in the cash payments journal. The Trust Cash Payments Journal is used for transactions involving a trust account, and the Transfer Journal is used for recording transfers between bank accounts. Neither of these would be appropriate for recording depreciation.
