At the beginning of the year, Wong€™s Martial Arts Centre bought three used fitness machines from Hangar Inc. for a total cash price of $ 38,000. Transportation costs on the machines were $ 2,000. The machines were immediately overhauled and installed, and started operating. The machines were different; therefore, each had to be recorded separately in the accounts. An appraiser was requested to estimate their market value at the date of purchase (prior to the overhaul and installation). The carrying amounts shown on Hangar€™s books are also available.
