  6. Think it over • On 1 January 2009, DEP Tour Operator Limited purchased four second-hand tour buses. The list price of the buses was $500,000 each and the supplier gave a $200,000 trade discount because of the bulk purchase. The payment was to be made through four half-yearly equal instalments of $530,000 each. The company spent a further $1,200,000 on each bus for renovations. The freight charges for the delivery of the buses amounted to $108,000. During installation, an accident happened and the company paid a repair cost of $20,000. In order to legalise the use of the buses as tour buses, an inspection fee of $90,000 was paid. An annual licence fee of $80,000 was also paid. You are required to prepare a statement to calculate the cost of the buses. (HKAL 2001)

XYZ Co promptly settled the debt, taking the advantage of both discounts. In addition, the company Incurred installation costs of $4,500. The total transportation and insurance cost incurred for the shipment of the machine amounted to $3,000 and $6,000 respectively. $1,200 was paid to the supplier for the maintenance charge for the current year.
