Jamari Wiggins · Answer 1

The cost recorded for the equipment=$229,550

Explanation:

The total recorded cost of the automatic equipment has to include the purchase cost and other additional associated costs that come with the equipment. This can be expressed as;

T=P+A

where;

T=total cost

P=purchase cost/invoice cost

A=additional costs (electrical work cost+delivery cost+sales tax+repair cost)

In our case;

T=unknown

P=$190,000

A = (20,000+4,000+13,700+1,850) = $39,550

replacing;

T=190,000+39,550=229,550

The total cost=$229,550

The cost recorded for the equipment=$229,550
