Explanation:

Based on IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, the cost of an asset comprises: (i) the purchase price plus import duties and taxes (ii) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in a manner intended by management; and (iii) the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

Using the basis above, the cost of the machine comprises the purchase price, sales tax, shipment cost and installation = $66,000 + $5,550 + $910 + $1,820 =  $74,280. The machine, including sales tax, was purchased on account to the tune of $71,550, the credit was recognized in accounts payable consequently. Since the remaining costs were paid for by cash, a credit of $2,730 was passed to Cash. However, the insurance cost is a prepaid asset and should not be capitalized with the asset. It would be amortized, on straight-line basis, over one year.

$3.12 per share

Explanation:

Diluted shares outstanding:

= Shares outstanding for the period × Shares outstanding under an option price of $31 per share[(average market price - option price) ÷ average market price]

= 192,000 + 12,600 × [($36 - $31) ÷ $36]

= 192,000 + 1,750

= 193,750

Diluted earnings per share:

= Net Income ÷ Total Diluted shares outstanding

= $605,000 ÷ 193,750

= $3.12 per share
