Tony and Suzie see the need for a rugged all-terrain vehicle to
transport participants and supplies. They decide to purchase a used
Suburban on July 1, 2022, for $15,600. They expect to use the
Suburban for five years and then sell the vehicle for $6,300. The
following expenditures related to the vehicle were also made on
July 1, 2022:
The company pays $2,700 to GEICO for a one-year insurance policy.
The company spends an extra $6,600 to repaint the vehicle, placing the Great Adventures logo on the front hood, back, and both sides.
An additional $2,900 is spent on a deluxe roof rack and a trailer hitch.
The painting, roof rack, and hitch are all expected to increase the future benefits of the vehicle for Great Adventures. In addition, on October 22, 2022, the company pays $2,200 for basic vehicle maintenance related to changing the oil, replacing the windshield wipers, rotating the tires, and inserting a new air filter.
