Cullumber Ltd. purchased equipment on January 1, 2015 at a cost of $188,390. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 10 years and a residual value of $9,860.

Milk Company bought a machine on 1 January 2015 for $5,000,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of 10 years with no residual value. The company uses straight-line depreciation method, cost model for all its PPE and its balance day is 31 December.
At December 31, 2016, the performance of the asset was not as expected, producing less milk than the original amount predicted. After some calculations, it was estimated that the fair value less cost to sell the machine would be $3,900,000 and the value in use of the machine would be $3,700,000.
Prepare the necessary journal entries to record the above transactions.
