Please Help!
On 13 September 20X1, Nitish Corp.'s board of directors moved the company's operations into a newly constructed
building and declared its old building available for sale. The original cost of the old building was $33 million; it was 30%
depreciated. Other information is as follows:
a. On 15 September, a professional appraisal of the old building estimated its value as $15 million.
b. On 24 September, Nitish engaged a commercial property developer to place the building on the market for $15 million.
Despite some softness in the market the developer expects to be able to sell the building within the next nine months.
The developer charges a commission of 6% on final sale.
c. By 31 December, the commercial real estate market had "softened" considerably. Although the developer held the
official asking price at $15 million, Nitish and the developer agreed they would consider offers as low as $13.5 million.
d. Despite receiving several "lowball" offers from prospective buyers over the first two months of 20X2, Nitish's
management did not accept any of the offers.
e. By 31 March 202, the end of Nitish's first reporting quarter, the market had improved considerably. The developer
relisted the property at $16.5 million, its newly appraised value.
f. On 27 April 202, Nitish's board accepted an offer of $16.7 million.
