Question:
Assume the following. Madrid Company purchased a parcel of land on January 1, Year 1, for $600,000. It constructed a building on the land at a cost of $3,000,000. The building was occupied on January 1, Year 4, and is expected to have a useful life of 40 years and an estimated salvage value of $1,000,000.
