Explanation / Answer
ALL costs incurred related to the purchasing, transportation, and installation of the asset are included with the cost of equipment. Since the cost of repairing the component occurred while the asset was being installed, it also is included with the final cost of the asset. 350,000 + 10,000 + 4,000 + 21,000 + 4,200 = $389,200 Total Recorded Cost = $389,200 --> ans
