In January 2013 Mitzu Co. pays $2800000 for a tract of land with two buildings on it. It plans to demolish Building 1 and build a new store
in its place. Building 2 will be a company office; it is appraised at $600000 with a useful life of 20 years and an $80000 salvage value. A lighted parking
lot near Building 1 has improvements (Land Improvements 1) valued at $630000 that are expected to last another 21 years with no salvage value. Without the
buildings and improvements the tract of land is valued at $1770000. The company also incurs the following additional costs:
