- Nash Co, recently installed some new computer equipment. To prepare for the installation, Nash had some electrical work done in what was to become the server room, costing $20,600. The invoice price of the server equipment was $200,000. Three printers were also purchased at a cost of $1,900 each. The software for the system was an additional $46,200. The server equipment was believed to have a useful life of eight years, but due to the heavy anticipated usage, the printers were expected to have only a four-year useful life. The software to run the system was estimated to require a complete upgrade in five years to avoid obsolescence. Additionally, it cost $12.600 for delivery. All of the above costs were subject to a 6% non-refundable provincial sales tax. During the installation, a training course was conducted for the staff that would be using the new equipment, at a cost of $9,550.
