    When buying PPE, the way to record it is to capitalize every expense that enabled the PPE to be brought to the location required and then set up for use. This includes the actual cost of the machine, the sales taxes (part of purchases price so must be included), the shipment of the machine as well as installation costs.

    The Insurance paid (prepaid) is an expense for the period and so will not be capitalized.

    Total cost of the machine therefore is;

    = 65,000 + 5,500 + 900 + 1,800

    = $73,200

    Only the machine and the sales tax were purchased on account.

    = 65,000 + 5,500

    = $70,500

    The rest in cash.

    Journal Entry is

    DR Machinery $73,200

    DR Prepaid Insurance $600

    CR Cash $3,300

    CR Accounts $70,500
