Answer: $49,700

Explanation:

Given that,

Purchased new equipment = $42,000

Transportation costs = $3,000

Sales tax paid = $2,400

Installation cost = $2,300

Cost recorded for the equipment = purchased new equipment + Transportation costs + Sales tax paid + Installation cost

= $42,000 + $3,000 + $2,400 + $2,300

= $49,700
