Question

A company purchased a commercial dishwasher by paying cash of $4,200. The dishwasher's fair value on the date of the purchase was $4,590. The company incurred $330 in transportation costs, $230 installation fees, and paid a $160 fine for illegal parking while the dishwasher was being delivered. For what amount will the company record the dishwasher

Answer 1

$4,760

Step-by-step explanation:

The value a company will record for the dishwasher will be the amount that was used to purchase the dishwasher plus the associated cost of transporting and installing the dishwasher.

The price of the dishwasher to be used is the actual amount it was bought and not the fair value.

Amount recorded for dishwasher= Price + Transportation + Installation fees

Amount recorded for dishwasher= 4,200 + 330 + 230

Amount recorded for dishwasher= $4,760

Note the fee for illegal parking is not considered because it is not a direct cost related to purchase of the dishwasher
