Explanation:

Before the journal is prepared, we have to do some calculations and provide explanation as follows:

Apart from the insurance cost which will be reports as just insurance expenses for the year, all other costs in the questions are relevant costs that will be added together as the costs of the machine equipment as follows:

Machine cost = Purchase price + Sales tax + Machine shipment + Machine Installation

                       = $67,000 + $5,600 + $920 + 1,840

Machine cost = $75,360

Account payable and cash can also be calculated as follows:

Account payable = Purchase price + Sales tax = $67,000 + $5,600 = $72,600

Cash = Machine shipment + Machine Installation + Machine insurance = $920 + 1,840 + $620 = $3,380
