Answer:
The cost of the machine includes the list price of $95,000, transportation costs of $4,200, and installation and testing costs of $6,000.
This excludes the insurance costs of $7,800 and the cash discount of 2%.
Therefore, the total cost to be recognised in the books is $105,200 ($95,000 + $4,200 + $6,000).
Explanation:
The list price is the major cost of the asset. The 2% cash discount is a finance income.
Transportation and installation costs are regarded as part of the cost of asset because they are incurred to bring the asset to use.
Any incidental cost that is incurred but not necessarily to bring the asset to usage is excluded from the cost of the asset. This is why the insurance cost is not included in the cost of the asset.
FOB shipping point means Free on Board Shipping Point. It is an incoterms term which specifies the point at which obligation, risk, and costs are assumed by the two parties. In this case, the buyer assumes obligation from the shipping point. Therefore, the transportation, installation, and testing costs are borne by Anchor Company.
