Question: Pete's Construction acquired new equipment, paid $50,000 down, and signed a 5%, $200,000 note payable. Both the principal and one-year's interest is due one year from the date of purchase. The cost to install the equipment was $4,000; the cost to test it before placing it on-line was $2,000.

Pete's Construction spent $20,000 to train employees on the above new equipment.

Materials, labour and overhead amounted to $400,000 for the construction of a building started and completed in the current year. The building was worth $600,000 at completion and will house the office operations for the company. Total interest cost recognized during the year was $50,000; $35,000 of that amount qualifies to be capitalized to this building. The land on which the building was constructed cost $100,000, also purchased this year.

A second tract of land was acquired as a building site, for $45,000. A second building on this land also was started during the year but not completed. $5,000 was spent for surveying this second land parcel; $30,000 was spent to excavate the foundation of the building; and $8,000 was spent to clear oak trees on the property.

Pete's Construction was assessed $12,000 by the county for sewers and other infrastructure costs for the site of the completed building.
Because there was so much work involved with this project, Pete took his staff out for a celebration lunch for a cost of $1,000.
