    Equipment amount recorded is $57,500

    Explanation:

    When a new equipment is purchased by a business the cost that eventually gets recorded as the book value of the asset will include all costs incurred during the purchase. Costs included are transportation costs, installation cost, initial maintenance, and taxes paid.

    In this instance the equipment amount = Price of equipment + Transportation cost + Installation cost + Sales Tax

    Equipment amount = 50,000 + 1,000 + 4,000 + 2,500

    Equipment amount = $57,500
