Solution

The total cost of the equipment can be calculated by adding up all the costs associated with the acquisition, installation, and preparation of the equipment for use. These costs include:

  1. Cash price of the equipment: $2,800,000
  2. Initial delivery and handling cost: $200,000
  3. Cost of site preparation: $600,000
  4. Consultant used for advance on the acquisition of equipment: $700,000
  5. Interest charges paid to supplier for deferred credit: $200,000
  6. Estimated dismantling cost that may be incurred upon retirement: $300,000

The operating losses before commercial production ($400,000) are not included in the cost of the equipment because they are not a direct cost of acquiring or preparing the equipment for use.

So, the total cost of the equipment is 2,800,000+2,800,000 + 200,000 + 600,000+600,000 + 700,000 + 200,000+200,000 + 300,000 = $4,800,000.
