On January 3, 2013, Michelson & Sons acquired a tract of land just outside the city limits. The land and existing building were purchased for $2.4 million. Michelson paid $400,000 and signed a noninterest-bearing note requiring the company to pay the remaining $2,000,000 on December 31, 2014. An interest rate of 7% properly reflects the time value of money for this type of loan agreement. Transfer taxes, title insurance, and other costs totaling $24,000 were paid at closing.
During February, the old building was demolished at a cost of $120,000, and an additional $100,000 was paid to clear and grade the land. Construction of a new building began on March 1 and was completed on October 30. Construction expenditures were as follows: Michelson did not borrow specifically for the construction project, but did have the following debt outstanding throughout 2013:
$6,000,000, 8% long-term note payable
$2,000,000, 5% long-term note payable
In December, the company purchased equipment and office furniture and fixtures for a lump-sum price of $800,000.
