Answer:
2nd January
Dr Machinery $178,000
Cr Cash $178,000
( to record the purchase of used machine)
3rd January
Dr Machinery $4,000
Cr Cash $4,000
(to capitalized the cost of wire electricity and installation to put the purchased machine in a ready-to-use stage).

- According to the information, all the expenses relating to the purchase of used machine are in cash. Thus, Cash is credited at the total amount of $182,000, in which $178,000 is credited in 2nd January to record the purchased price and the other $4,000 (2,840 + 1,160) is credited in 3rd January.
- Under GAAP, the recorded costs of a purchased fixed asset should included all the costs incurred which are necessary to bring the fixed asset to a ready-to-use stage. As wire electricity cost & cost for securing the machine in its position are all necessary for the machine's operation, these costs should be capitalized.
