Please explain the steps for each requirement. Thank you in advance!
Green Co. constructed a machine at a total cost of $72.60 million. Construction was completed at the end of 2012 and the machine was placed in service at the beginning of 2013. The machine was being depreciated over a 10-year life using the sum-of-the-years'-digits method. The residual value is expected to be $4.20 million. At the beginning of 2016, Green decided to change to the straight-ine method Required: 1. Ignoring income taxes, what journal entry(s) should Green record relating to the machine for 2016? (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Enter your answers in millions rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e., 5,500,000 should be entered as 5.50).) Event General Journal Debit Credit Accumulated depreciation X 68.40X Retained earnings 68.40X 2. Suppose Green has been using the straight-line method and switches to the sum-of-the-years'-digits method. Ignoring income taxes, what journal entry (s) should Green record relating to the machine for 2016? (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Enter your answers in millions rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e., 5,500,000 should be entered as 5.50).)

2) Dr. Depreciation expense $11.97
Cr. Accumulated depreciation $11.97
Working:
(72.60 - 4.20) / 10 = 6.84
6.84 * 3 years = 20.52
