Douglas Duarte · Answer 1

D. $2,050,000.

Explanation:

In 2020

Expenditure = 4,000,000

In 2021

Expenditure = 2,050,000 (Change in Design cost is already included)

All the costs incurred to make an asset usable could be capitalized. the change in original construction design is an essential cost and it is incurred before completion / use of city hall. So the cost of 2,050,000 will be added to capital account in 2021.

So the correct option is D. $2,050,000.
