Answer:

$230,000

Explanation:

Depreciation Charge (Straight line) = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated Useful Life

therefore,

2018 Depreciation Charge = ($4,600,000 - $ 0) ÷ 20

                                               = $230,000

The journal entry to correct the error will include a credit to accumulated depreciation of $230,000
