Journalize the above transactions. The company uses straight-line depreciation for buildings and equipment. The buildings are estimated to have a 40-year useful life and no salvage value. The equipment is estimated to have a 10-year useful life and no salvage value. Update depreciation on assets disposed of at the time of sale or retirement. (List multiple debit/credit entries in descending order of amount.)

Utilizing the updated accounts, create a partial balance sheet for the Plant Assets Section of the company's financial report for the year ending June 30, 2007.
