Question 1 -

On 1st December 2015, Hamilton Car Wash purchased new high-tech computer operated washing equipment for all of its 10 washing centres.  The list price of the equipment was $7,200 for the equipment needed at each centre.  Because Hamilton Car Wash purchased 10 sets of equipment at one time, it was given a special "package price" at a discount of 10% for all the equipment.  The company paid $20,000 of this amount in cash and took a 90 day loan (at 12% pa) for the balance.  The loan was paid promptly on the due date along with accrued interest charges. 

Freight charges for the delivery of the equipment totalled $5,274. A contractor was paid $1,500 per location to install the equipment at 6 of the centres.  Management was able to find a less expensive contractor who installed the remaining 4 equipment at a cost of $900 per location. During the installation, one of the new machines was accidentally damaged by an employee of Hamilton Car Wash.  The cost to repair this damage amounting to $700 was paid by the company. 

As soon as the machines were installed, Hamilton Car Wash paid $3,900 for a series of radio commercials advertising that it now uses modern equipment in all its car wash centres.  The company commenced using the machines from 1 March 2016. The equipment maintenance cost incurred in the first year of operation amounted in total to $2,400.

The company has a policy of depreciating the equipment, on a straight-line basis, over a period of 5 years. Depreciation is calculated on a monthly basis.  The total salvage value of all the equipment at the end of year 5 is expected be $6,000. The company's accounting year ends on 30th June.

Required: Prepare journal entries to record the above transactions for the year ended 30th June 2016.
