EB Co. (a public corporation) began operations in 2021 in Edmonton, Alberta. All income in the company classifies as 'business income'. The following information was provided:

I. EB Co. signed an 8-year lease for a building when the business began. The building is estimated to be worth $500,000. EB Co. has an option to renew the lease for an additional 2 years. EB Co. spent $100,000 in 2021 on improvements to the leased building at the beginning of the year.

II. EB Co. purchased land and a building adjacent to the business for $120,000 in 2021. The Class 1 (4%) building was valued at $50,000 and is used as a storage facility.

III. EB Co. purchased several small tools in 2021 that are used to maintain the rental tools. The total cost of these tools was $8,000, and each tool cost under $500.

VIII. EB Co. purchased a $42,000 passenger vehicle to be used for the business. In 2021 the vehicle was driven 20,000 km. 15,000 km were for business. (The car was to be used exclusively for business in the following years.)

IX. The business was very successful in the first year so EB Co. chose to use all of the CCA that was available in 2021.

X. EB Co.'s business is an HST registrant.

The following transactions occurred in 2022:

• EB Co. sold the delivery truck for $48,000, and immediately purchased a newer and larger model for $55,000.
• New shelving was purchased for the reception area, at a cost of $1,000.
