    Dr Machine account $1,402,500

    Cr Retained earnings (balancing figure) $1,260,244.44

    Cr Accumulated depreciation

    (2 years depreciation 142,255.56*2) $284,511.11

    Dr Depreciation expense (2018) $ 142,255.56

    Cr Accumulated depreciation (2018) $142,255.56

    Explanation:

    The yearly depreciation on the asset=cost-residual value/useful life

    cost is $1,402,500

    residual value is $122,200

    useful life is 9 years

    depreciation = ($1,402,500-$122,200) / 9

    =$142,255.56

    However the depreciation has not been recognized for 3 years now (2016-2018)

    Also the cost of machine was debited to expense that needs to be reversed

    The appropriate entries would be

    Dr Machine account $1,402,500

    Cr Retained earnings (balancing figure) $1,260,244.44

    Cr Accumulated depreciation

    (2 years depreciation 142,255.56*2) $284,511.11

    Dr Depreciation expense (2018) $ 142,255.56

    Cr Accumulated depreciation (2018) $142,255.56
