It paid $20,000 cash for the equipment, and issued a 3-month, 12% note payable for the remaining balance. The note, plus accrued interest charges of $3,900 was paid promptly at the maturity date.
2. In addition to the amounts described in 1, Podunk paid sales taxes of $7,500 at the date of purchase.
3. Freight charges for delivery of the equipment totaled $1,200.
4. Installation and training costs related to the equipment amounted to $4,000.
5. During installation, one of the pieces of equipment was accidentally damaged by an employee. It cost the college $600 to repair this damage.
6. As soon as the equipment was installed, the college paid $70,000 to print admissions brochures featuring the gym’s new, state-of-new-art exercise facilities.
