Accounting Journal Entry....little help...?

I am pretty sure i know what i am doing. I just have a couple questions.

on a few journal entries.

12/3 Paid Cash for a computer $3,000. Computer is expected to remain in service for 5 years.

do i just credit cash for 3000 and debt equipment for 3000?
do i need to do a journal entry for depreciation and all of that?
or do i just wait until the endof the year and do an adjusting entry?

would this be the same thing...

12/4 purchased office furniture on account 3600. furniture should last 5 years.

I also have a list of adjusting entrys that need to be done. not to sure how to do them

1. Accured service revenue 400(earned but payment would be received until next period

2. supplies still on hand at the end of the month $100

3. Depreciation expene- equipment $50 and furniture $60

4. Accured 1/3 of secretarys monthly salary(earned but not paid until next period.(JE info is Hired
