Answer 1

Answer:

$56,600.00

Explanation:

The amount the company spent on purchase of additional equipment during year 1 can be ascertained using the formula below:

amount spent on additional equipment=ending balance of equipment-(beginning balance-cost of equipment sold)

ending balance of equipment is  $304,700

beginning balance is $341,200
