Question

Company A entered into a P4,500,000 fixed-price contract with a contractor on March 1, 2019 for the construction of an office building. The building was completed and occupied on September 30, 2020. Additional construction costs were incurred as follows:

Plans, specifications and blueprints                 18,000

Architect's fees for design and supervision    142,500

The building is estimated to have a 40-year useful life from the date of completion and will be depreciated using the 150%-declining balance method.

To finance the construction cost, the company borrowed P4,500,000 on March 1, 2019. The loan is payable in 10 annual installments of P450,000 plus interest at the rate of 10%. The company used part of the loan proceeds for working capital requirements. The Company's average amounts of accumulated building construction expenditures were as follows:

For the period March 1 to December 31, 2019         1,350,000

For the period January 1 to September 31, 2020      3,450,000

Determine carrying amount of the building on December 31, 2020.
