Answer 1

d. $13,575

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the equipment includes all the cost incurred to bring the equipment to a state where it becomes available for use.

These costs are the cost of the equipment, sales tax, freight, repairs during installation and installation cost.

Therefore,

Cost of the equipment = $12,000 + $800 + $200 + $350 + $225

= $13,575

The right option is d. $13,575.
