Kingbird Company, a manufacturer of ballet shoes, is experiencing a period of sustained growth. In an effort to expand its production capacity to meet the increased demand for its product, the company recently made several acquisitions of plant and equipment. Rob Joffrey, newly hired in the position of fixed-asset accountant, requested that Danny Nolte, Kingbird's controller, review the following transactions. Transaction 1: On June 1, 2020, Kingbird Company purchased equipment from Wyandot Corporation. Kingbird issued a $27,200, 4- year, zero-interest-hearing note to Wyandot for the new equipment. Kingbird will pay off the note in four equal installments due at the end of each of the next 4 years. At the date of the transaction, the prevailing market rate of interest for obligations of this nature was 10%. Freight costs of $402 and installation costs of $480 were incurred in completing this transaction. The appropriate factors for the time value of money at a 10% rate of interest are given below. Future value of $1 for 4 periods 1.46 Future value of an ordinary annuity for 4 periods 4.64 Present value of $1 for 4 periods 0.68 Present value of an ordinary annuity for4 periods 3.17 Transaction 2: On December 1, 2020, Kingbird Company purchased several assets of Yakima Shoes Inc., a small shoe manufacturer whose owner was retiring. The purchase amounted to $214,000 and included the assets listed below. Kingbird Company engaged the services of Tennyson Appraisal Inc., an independent appraiser, to determine the fair values of the assets which are also presented below.

Kingbird intends to use the land for a parking lot. The trucks had a combined book value of $33,090, as Kingbird had recorded $20,800 of accumulated depreciation against these assets. Kingbird's purchasing agent, who has had previous dealings in the secondhand market, indicated that the trucks had a fair value of $48,890 at the time of the transaction. In addition to the trucks, Kingbird Company paid $19,910 cash for the land.
