Latham Corporation constructs a new factory building. The materials cost $300,000. Other costs include direct labor of $150,000, worker pension costs of $5,000, architectural fees of $15,000, and depreciation on equipment of $25,000. The land was purchased for $30,000. A loan of $500,000 is needed to finance the construction, and interest of $40,000 is paid during the year.

Required:
What is Latham's basis in the building?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$535,000

Explanation:

The computation of the Latham's basis in the building is shown below:

= The material cost + direct labor cost + worker pension cost + architectural fees + depreciation on equipment  + interest paid during the year

= $300,000 + $150,000 + $5,000 + $15,000 + $25,000 + $40,000

= $535,000

It includes both direct and indirect cost

Since we have to compute for the building so we do not considered the purchase value of land and the loan amount
