Answer: $360,050

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of a fixed asset refers to all the cash that was paid to acquire the asset, transport it and then install it.

Cost of the new machinery is therefore = Discounted cost price + Sales tax + Installation charges + Concrete slab

= (270,000 * (1 - 2%)) + 79,750 + 4,800 + 10,900

= 264,600 + 79,750 + 4,800 + 10,900

= $360,050

Cost price was discounted by 2% as per the credit terms of 2/10 which means that there is a discount of 2% if the asset is paid for in 10 days.
