3. Sarasota Company purchased office equipment for $18,000, terms 2/10, n/30. Because the company intended to take the discount, it made no entry until it paid for the acquisition. The entry was:

Equipment		18,000

Purchase Discounts				360

4. Ivanhoe Inc. recently received at zero cost land from the Village of Cardassia as an inducement to locate its business in the Village. The appraised value of the land is $31,320. The company made no entry to record the land because it had no cost basis. 5. Shamrock Company built a warehouse for $696,000. It could have purchased the building for $858,400. The controller made the following entry.

Buildings		858,400
Cash				696,000
Profit on Construction				162,400

Prepare the entry that should have been made at the date of each acquisition. (Round intermediate calculations to 5 decimal palces, e.g. 0.56487 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275. Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)
