2. Unpaid invoices for flower purchases totaled $20,500 at December 31, 2018.
3. The inventory totaled $76,800 based on a physical count of the goods at December 31, 2018. The inventory was priced at cost, which approximates market value.

5. During 2018, Bledsoe redid the parking lot at their North retail store. Bledsoe paved and fenced in the lot at a cost of $50,000. The improvements were completed on July 2, 2018, and have an estimated useful life of 10 years. Depreciation on furniture and fixtures was $15,000 for 2018.

The company disposed of all assets of the south location for a loss of $10,000 ($31,000 original cost with accumulated depreciation of $17,000).
