Answer 1

An indication of the bulleted items that Billy's Fitness Company should include in the cost of the Exercise Equipment account is as follows:

Equipment's List Price = $608,000

Sales Taxes                         36,480

Transportation cost              2,200

Installation and testing         1,600

Total  costs                  $648,280

Thus, the costs of normal maintenance of the equipment in June 2018 should not be included in the Equipment Account but treated as expenses in the income statement.

Data Analysis:

Equipment's list priceless discount = $608,000 ($640,000 x(1 - 5%)

Cash Discount = $32,000 (5% x $640,000)

Sales taxes included = $36,480

Transportation charges = $2,200

Installation and testing costs = $1,600
