Answer:
The cost recorded for the equipment=$66,500
Explanation:
When dealing with the total cost of an equipment we take the purchase cost and other additional associated costs that come with the equipment. This can be expressed as;
T=P+A
where;
T=total cost
P=purchase cost
A=additional costs(transportation cost+sales tax+installation cost)
In our case;
T=unknown
P=$60,000
A=(1,000+3,000+2,500)=$6,500
replacing;
T=60,000+6,500=66,500
The total cost=$66,500
The cost recorded for the equipment=$66,500
