Other information:

a. UCC balances at January 1, 2019 were as follows:
i. Class 1 (Single building) $200,000
ii. Class 8 (Multiple assets) $ 60,000

b. During the year Michelle had the following transactions:
i. On September 8th, 2019 a new building was purchased for $700,000. The cost of the related land was an additional $400,000. It cost $20,000 to pave part of the land for use as a parking lot, for accounting purposes the $20,000 was added to the cost of the land. Although she will be using most of the building for her business it qualifies as a rental property for CCA purposes. Her first tenant began renting at the end of December and she included the amount in sales. This problem is very loosely based on a Wolters Kluwer textbook question
