The following expenses were incurred in relation to the equipment between 1 August and 16 October 2018 when it was first used in production: Installation and assembly costs of $1,300 When installing the equipment, part of the factory wall was removed and access cleared.

Chelmer Ltd received total parking fees of $6,000 from this venture. Costs of $2,000 to test the equipment to ensure it functioned properly. These tests generated samples of products which were sold for $500. Costs of staff training totalling $3.200. The training was necessary to deal with a new class of customer to whom the product from the new equipment would be sold. Costs of $1,400 to market the new product to be produced by the equipment.
