Brainium Technologies showed the following information in its Property, Plant, and Equipment subledger regarding a warehouse.
During 2020, it was determined that the original useful life on the warehouse doors should be reduced to a total of 12 years and that the residual value should be $23,100. On January 3, 2020, the furnace broke down unexpectedly. It was replaced the next day with a new one costing $39,000, purchased on account (the old furnace was scrapped). The new furnace had an estimated residual value of $7,500 and an estimated life of 16 years and would continue to be depreciated using the double declining-balance method.
Required
1. Prepare the entry to record the purchase of the new furnace.
