Question: Please Explain part C in detail. The correct Answer for part C has 2 different Journal entries - Credit Retained Earnings for $ 9 6

Please Explain part C in detail. The correct Answer for part C has 2 different Journal entries - Credit Retained Earnings for $96,000 and another seperate entry : Debit Depreciation Expense for $16,000, How is $96,000 achieved?
My thought process ...
160,000/10=16,000
Purchased 2013 so 4 x 16,000=64,000 in Accumilated Depreciation by end of 2016
Another 16,000 for 2017 I assume
64,000+16,000=80,000 still shy another 16,000 to match the Credit of 96,000 in Retained Earning.
Thank you in advance!
