Demolition of old building ................. 3,000
Legal fees for land acquisition ................. 1,500
Interest on loan for construction (based on average costs incurred) .. 2,900

Insurance on building during construction ........... 1,000
Profit on construction ................... 12,000
Compensation for injury to construction worker ......... 3,000
Modifications to building ordered by building inspectors ...... 7,500
Property taxes on land paid in 2007 .............. 2,500
The following credits were made to the account:
Salvage from demolished old building ............... $ 700
Sale of excavation equipment ................. 14,000
In addition, you discover that compensation for the worker’s injury was necessary because it was not covered by the particular insurance policy purchased by the company. Accident insurance that would have covered the injury would have cost an additional $350. The modifications ordered by the building inspectors resulted from poor planning by the company.
