a. $139,539
b. $90,674
c. $51,642
d. $41,809
Calculation of cost basis of machine
Given information in the problem
Purchase price of a used machinery = $41,809
Overhaul costing = $9,833
Installation costs = $6,615
Special Acquisition fee = $32,417
Cost basis of machine = Purchase price +Overhaul costing+ Installation costs + Special Acquisition fee
=$41,809 + $9,833 + $6,615 +$32,417
=$90,674
option b.$90,674 is the correct choice
