The Class 1 balance relates to a single building purchased at a cost of $1,145,000 - the cost of the land was $200,000 and the building $945,000.

The building is used 95% for manufacturing and processing (M&P) activity and an election is made to include the building in a separate Class 1.
There are no dispositions of Class 8 property during the year but there are purchases totaling $98,000.
As the Company has decided to lease all of its vehicles in the future, all of the Class 10 properties are sold during the year. The capital cost of these properties was $193,000 and the POD was $77,000. The carrying value of the Class 10 properties for accounting purposes was $117,000.

Capital expenditures on the lease were $180,000 in 2019 and $36,000 in 2020. There were no capital expenditures made in 2021. The write-off of these expenditures for accounting purposes is included in Amortization Expense.
