During the testing process, one of the motors became defective when soap and water entered the motor because its cover had not been installed properly by Mist City’s employees. The motor was replaced at a cost of $640.

(a)
Introduction:
As per the historical cost method fixed asset must be recorded at the exchange price when the asset is purchased. The cost must be recorded including all the expenditure that is incurred to purchase that asset.
To find: The total cost of the car washing machine.
We will add all the price of machine as well as all the expenditure that is incurred to purchase that machine
Total cost = machine cost + transportation ...
