- any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in a manner intended by management
- the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located
In the question, $60,000 was the purchase price, the transportation cost of $1,000 was necessary to bring the asset to the location intended by management, $3,000 was the sales tax and the installation cost of $2,500 was also necessary for the asset to function as intended by management.
