Question:

Assume the following. Madrid Company purchased a parcel of land on January 1, 2012, for $400,000. It constructed a building on the land at a cost of $2,000,000. The building was occupied on January 1, 2015, and is expected to have a useful life of 40 years and an estimated salvage value of $600,000.
