In January 2011, Keona Co. pays $2,650,000 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 $780,000, with a useful life of 20 years and an $80,000 salvage value. A lighted parking lot near Building 1 has improvements (Land Improvements 1) valued at $330,000 that are expected to last another 11 years with no salvage value. Without the buildings and improvements, the tract of land is valued at $1,890,000. The company also incurs the following additional costs:
