Answer: $972,900
Explanation:
The cost of land consists of the actual purchase price, and all other expenses that are necessary to make the asset ready for its intended use. In terms of land, all these expenditures can include title fees, unpaid taxes from previous years only (i.e. not current taxes), and other expenses need to physically prepare the land for use. The current taxes figure of $4,600 is not included here, as it is only owed during the current year, therefore normal accounting rules for taxes will apply. This figure will thus be treated as a liability until it is paid. The back taxes were aqcuired when the asset was aqcuired, and thus form part of the cost.
Old buildings that were on the land, may need to be teared down so that land can be utilised. The costs used to demolish the building also forms part of the purchase price. On top of that, to fully prepare the land for use the land may need to be landscaped and leveled. All these costs contribute towards getting the land ready for use, and are thus included in the cost. Sales made on any item related to the land, during the process when the land was still being processed for its intended use, will reduce the cost of the asset, and deduct this figure. This figure will fall under sales, which is an income to the business. The full calculation of the cost is as follows:
Purchase price: $910,000
Title insurance: + $2,400
Unpaid property taxes: + $8,300
Cost of removing building: + $45,900
Sale of salvaged materials: - $4,000
Level the land: + $10,300
Cost of land: = $972,900
Answer:
9.59%
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted-average interest rate used for interest capitalization purposes is shown below:
<u>Particulars Amount Interest </u>
9%, 5-year note payable $2,458,400 $221,256
10%, 4-year note payable $3,504,400 $350,440
Total $5,962,800 $571,696
So, Weighted-average interest rate is
= $571,696 ÷ $5,962,800
= 9.59%
Answer: $18,000
Explanation:
Income from investment is the percentage of the acquired company's income that the company that acquired it will report as their own based on their percentage of ownership.
By purchasing 3,000 shares out of 10,000, Pillow Corp owns;
= 3,000 / 10,000
= 30% of Sleep Co.
These shares were bough on July 1 so the relevant period will be half a year.
At the end of the year, Pillow Corp will report 30% of half of Sleep Co. income as income from investment for the year.
= 30% * 120,000 * 0.5
= $18,000
