Final answer:
Without additional context, the credit to accumulated depreciation would generally be a credit entry as it is a contra asset account, but the exact amount cannot be determined from the options provided.
Step-by-step explanation:
The credit to accumulated depreciation is a bookkeeping entry that represents the total amount of depreciation expense that has been recorded over time for an asset.
To answer the student's question directly, none of the provided options ($60,000, Debit, Credit, Depreciation expense) explicitly states the credit amount to accumulated depreciation in the context provided.
However, based on standard accounting practice, the correct entry for accumulated depreciation would typically be a credit because accumulated depreciation is a contra asset account that is increased through credit entries as assets depreciate over time.
If the question is about the calculation and recording of depreciation in a given scenario (not shown here), then we would need additional information about the asset and the depreciation method used to determine the exact credit to be made to the accumulated depreciation account.
