What is the cost of the equipment?

Answer 1

Answer:

$72,700

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Purchasing cost = $70,000

Sales tax = $700

Freight charges = $800

Shipping charges = $150

Repair charges = $1,300

Installation cost = $1,050

Now,

Cost of the equipment  

= Purchasing cost + Sales tax + Freight charges + Shipping charges + Installation cost

= $70,000 + $700 + $800 + $150 + $1,050

= $72,700

Note: Repair cost is not included in the cost.
