    Initially, purchases and wages would have been debited to the relevant accounts because they are usually expenses.

    Because some of them were used to build a factory, those costs should be recorded as a non-current asset and not as expenses.

    So remove them from expenses by crediting purchases and wages, and record them as a non-current asset instead by debiting Buildings.
