Answer: Harvey company will record the equipment at $14,700 is its books.
We usually record equipment at the actual price at which it was bought. Even though Harry company was willing to pay only $13,000, it actually went ahead and paid $14,700 to purchase the equipment.
We don’t consider the retail price here, since Harvey company did not buy the equipment from the retail market.
In the advertisement, Carrey Company probably put a value of $19,000 (by considering the retail rate) to see the market response to buy the at that price. So, we don’t consider that either.
