Solutions:

1. Solution
Purchase price, net of trade discounts (1M – 10K) 990,000
Freight costs 20,000
Testing costs 30,000
Net disposal proceeds of samples generated
during testing (5,000)
Present value of dismantlement costs 6,209
Initial measurement 1,041,209

2. A (1,041,209 – 200,000) ÷ 10 yrs. = 84,121;

1,041,209 – (84,121 x 3) = 788,846

3. D 820,000 – 788,846 = 31,154

4. D (820,000 – 200,000) ÷ 7 yrs. = 88,571

5. A (870,000 – 20,000) – (820,000 – 88,571) = 118,571
