Answer 1

Answer:

$135,950

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the total cost of the new equipment

Using this formula

New equipment Total cost =(List price × (100% - 2%) + Sales tax + Installation + Concrete slab)

Let plug in the formula

New equipment Total cost=[$125,000 *(100%-2%)]+ $6,250 + $2,200 + $5,000

New equipment Total cost=($125,000 *.98) + $6,250 + $2,200 + $5,000

New equipment Total cost=$135,950

Therefore the total cost of the new equipment is $135,950
