On March 1, Wright Company purchased new equipment for $60,000 by paying cash. Other costs associated with the equipment were: transportation costs, $3,000; sales tax paid $5,000; and installation cost, $4,500. At what amount will the equipment be recorded on a balance sheet?
Answer:
The equipment will be recorded at $ 72,500.
Calculation:
Equipment purchase cost | $ 60,000.00 |
Add: Transportation cost | $ 3,000.00 |
Add: Sales tax payment | $ 5,000.00 |
Add: Installation cost | $ 4,500.00 |
Total equipment cost | $ 72,500.00 |
Note:
Transportation cost has been assumed before installing the equipment. Hence, all the costs before equipment is put to use will be part of the cost of equipment.
