Crane Company purchased equipment on January 1 at a list price of $120000, with credit terms 4/10, n/30. Payment was made within the discount period. Crane paid $4750 sales tax on the equipment and paid installation charges of $2100. Prior to installation, Crane paid $5600 to pour a concrete slab on which to place the equipment. What is the total cost of the new equipment

The cost of equipment = $127,650

Explanation:

According to International Accounting Standards (IAS) 16, property plants and equipment, the cost of land includes all of the cost necessary to bring and make it ready for the intended use.  

These costs include purchase cost, fees and commission associated with the purchase transaction.

Here in this question the installation charges, sales taxes and the cost of concrete slab all fall within the definition of IAS 16

The quotation 4/10, n/30 implies that if payment is made within =10 days, Crane would get 4% off the initial purchase price.

Since the payment was made within the discounted period, the net purchase price would be

Purchase price = 120,000 - (4%× 120,000)= 115,200

The cost of equipment = 115,200 +4,750 + 2,100 + 5600= 127650

The cost of equipment = $127,650
