On January 3, 20X2, J.B. Weld Co. paid $224,000 for a computer system. In addition to the basic purchase price, the company paid a setup fee of $6,200, $6,700 sales tax, and $3,100 for a special platform on which to place the computer. J.B. Weld management estimates that the computer will remain in service 5 years and have a residual value of $20,000. The computer will process 50,000 documents the first year, with annual processing decreasing by 5,000 documents during each of the next 4 years (that is, 45,000 documents in 20X3; 40,000 documents in 20X4; and so on).
