Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The cost of the machine is:
$120,000 (purchase price)
+ $2,000 (freight charges)
+ $10,000 (special mounting and wiring connections)
+ $1,300 (damages during installation)
= $133,300
Since Granite Company paid within the discount period, they get a 1% discount on the purchase price of the machine:
$120,000 × 0.01 = $1,200 discount
So the cost recorded for this machine is:
$133,300 (total cost)
- $1,200 (discount)
= $132,100
Therefore, the best choice is B.
