Answer with Explanation:

According to International Accounting Standard IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, the cost of the asset acquired must include all the cost necessary to make it ready for its intended use.

This means that the expenditure that is the legal cost or must be very important for making it ready for use must form part of the asset.

The double entry of such transaction is as under:

Dr Non Current Asset XX

Cr Cash or Cash Equivalent Paid or Payables XX

From the above criteria, we can say that following accounts must be debited:

1. Paid $7,000 of accrued taxes at the time the plant site was acquired.

Dr Land-Plant Site $7,000

Cr Accrued Taxes       $7,000

2. Paid $200 insurance to cover a possible accident loss on new factory machinery while the machinery was in transit.

Dr Factory Machine $200

Cr Cash                        $200

3. Paid $850 sales taxes on a new delivery truck.

Dr Delievery Truck $850

Cr Sales Tax - Not refundable $850

If the sales tax is refundable while we file tax returns then it must not be included in cost as it is paid for completing formalities of the vendor company.

4. Paid $21,000 for parking lots and driveways on the new plant site.

Dr Land-Plant Site $21,000

Cr Cash                        $21,000

5. Paid $250 to have the company name and slogan painted on the new delivery truck. choose an account title

6. Paid $8,000 for installation of new factory machinery.

Dr Factory Machinery $8,000

7. Paid $900 for a 1-year accident insurance policy on the new delivery truck.

Dr Prepaid Insurance $900

Cr Cash                             $900

8. Paid $75 motor vehicle license fee on the new truck.

Dr Lisence Expense $75

Cr Cash                         $75

balanced lifestyle would be the type of lifestyle that fulfill all aspects of our life, including financial security, personal achievements, emotional balance, and intimate relationships with other people.

for me personally, the job that i would choose to achieve a balanced lifestyle is opening an online store.

online store can be managed from the comfort of our phone. if we are the owner of the store, we can determine our own working hours. we can arrange our working hours so we have time to do things such as taking care of children, cultivating romantic relationship, or do our hobby.
