Capitalized cost will be $58500

Explanation:

We have given that the purchase price = $55000

Related sale tax = $500

Transportation cost = $1000

Assembling cost = $2000

Maintenance cost = $800

We have to find the capitalized cost

So capitalized cost is given by

Capitalized cost = 55000+500+1000+2000 = $58500 (As maintenance cost is not included in capitalized cost)

So capitalized cost will be $58500
