What is the total recorded cost of the automatic scorekeeping equipment?

Answer 1

Answer:

$227,700

Explanation:

Invoice cost             $190,000

Electrical and installation  $20,000

Delivery cost                      $4,000

Sales Tax                           $13,700

Total equipment cost        $227,700

repair costs are revenue expenditure therefore they will not be capitalized.

Further sales tax are non refundable ad delivery cost also necessary for making the equipment available for  intended use.
