(To record payment for machine)  

All cost paid to make machinery ready for use will be considered as cost of machine.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation of cost of machinery

Purchase of machine   240,000

Wire charges                      6,000

Additional charges              1,200

Total cost                         247,200

Calculation of depreciation

Depreciation = (Cost - salvage value)/ useful years of life

=(247200-28800)/ 6

=36400

Straightline depreciation method

Opening asset value         247200

Depreciation for 6 years

(36400*6)                             (218400)

Final asset value balance    28800
