Objective of the workpaper
For each acquisition (one instance per property), describe the transaction, enter the deferred price, the rate and period of the credit, the costs incurred and the excluded costs, compute the cash price equivalent, the capitalisable costs and the initial cost, then prepare the entries (capitalised costs, cash price, excluded costs expensed, interest for the period) and their effect on the financial statements.
