Problem - Early in its fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, San Antonio Outfitters finalized plans to expand operations. The first stage was completed on March 28 with the purchase of a tract of land on the outskirts of the city. The land and existing building were purchased for $1,120,000. San Antonio paid $360,000 and signed a non-interest bearing note requiring the company to pay the remaining $760,000 on March 28, 2018. An interest rate of 6% properly reflects the time value of money for this type of loan agreement. Title search, insurance, and other closing costs totaling $36,000 were paid at closing.

During April, the old building was demolished at a cost of $86,000, and an additional $66,000 was paid to clear and grade the land. Construction of a new building began on May 1 and was completed on October 29. Construction expenditures were as follows:

May 1 $3,600,000  

July 30  2,300,000  

September 1  1,860,000  

October 1  2,760,000

San Antonio borrowed $6,000,000 at 6% on May 1 to help finance construction. This loan, plus interest, will be paid in 2017. The company also had the following debt outstanding throughout 2016:

$3,600,000, 10% long-term note payable 

$5,600,000, 7% long-term bonds payable

In November, the company purchased 10 identical pieces of equipment and office furniture and fixtures for a lump-sum price of $760,000. The fair values of the equipment and the furniture and fixtures were $645,000 and $215,000, respectively. In December, San Antonio paid a contractor $365,000 for the construction of parking lots and for landscaping.
