Before recording the journal entry, first we have to determine the total cost which is shown below:

= Purchase price + sales tax + Shipment of machine + Installation of machine

= $63,000 + $5,400 + $880 + $1,760

= $7,1040

Now the journal entry would be

Equipment A/c Dr $7,1040

Prepaid insurance A/c Dr $580

To Cash A/c $3,220 ($880 + $1,760 + $580)

To Accounts payable $68,400 ($63,000 + $5,400)

(Being the expenditure and equipment value is recorded)
