Question 5: During the current year, Company D completed construction of a new assembly facility in Chicago, Illinois. The facility will receive components from Company D's other facilities and assemble them for shipment to distributors. The following transactions occurred in conjunction with the facility.
Item A: The City of Chicago provided Company D with a parcel of land at no cost in exchange for Company D constructing the facility in Chicago. The appraised value of the land was $750,000. The land had an abandoned city maintenance facility that Company D had demolished at a cost of $50,000.
Item B: Company D entered into a contract with the Chicago Construction Company (CCC) to build the manufacturing facility. The agreed to price of the construction was $5,500,000. The contract called for Company D to pay CCC $4,000,000 plus 30,000 shares of Company D common stock. The common stock has a $1 par value and, as Company D is a private corporation, the stock is not traded on any public stock exchange. The facility has been completed and the payment has been tendered to CCC.
Item C: The assembly process does not involve heavy machinery and is mostly completed by hand at assembly workstations. Company D received two bids from other companies to construct the necessary workstations. One bid was for $250,000 and the other was for $265,000. After considering the bids, Company D decided to construct the workstations for the new facility at another Company D facility. In doing so, Company D used $72,000 in materials from inventory and $87,000 in direct labor. That facility applies fixed overhead at 50% of direct labor cost.
1) Prepare the necessary journal entries to record the above items.
