The invoice price of the equipment was $125,000. Additional costs were $3,000 for deliver and $750 for insurance during transportation. During the installation, the drawer for the cash register was broken. The cost of repairing this was $300. What is the cost that should be capitalized of the store's equipment? If any values are not included, please state why.
