    We have to prepare the entry that should have been made at the date of each acquisition.

    Explanation:

    The journal entry is:

    Account Debit Credit

    Land $153,000

    Building $255,000

    Equipment $306,000

    Cash $714,000

    Land, Building, and Equipment are assets, when assets are acquired or increased, they are debited.

    Cash in as an asset too, and when assets decrease they are credited.
