Hamlet College recently purchased new computing equipment for its library. The following information refers to the purchase and
installation of this equipment.
1. The list price of the equipment was $285,000; however, Hamlet College qualified for an "education discount" of $25.000. It paid
$50,000 cash for the equipment, and issued a three-month, 9 percent note payable for the remaining balance. The note, plus
accrued interest charges of $4,500, was paid promptly at the note's maturity date.
2. In addition to the amounts described in 1, Hamlet paid sales taxes of $15,000 at the date of purchase.
3. Freight charges for delivery of the equipment totaled $1,000.
4. Installation costs related to the equipment amounted to $5,000.
5. During installation, one of the computer terminals was accidentally damaged by a library employee. It cost the college $500 to
repair this damage.
6. As soon as the computers were installed, the college paid $4,000 to print admissions brochures featuring the library's new, state-of
the-art computing facilities.
Required:
c. Compute the total cost added to the college's computing equipment account.
d. Prepare a journal entry at the end of the current year to record depreciation on the computing equipment. Hamiet Colege intends
to depreciate this equipment by the straight-line method (half-year convention) over an estimated useful life of five years. Assume a
zero residual value.
