1)    Early in its fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, San Antonio Outfitters finalized plans to expand operations. The first stage was completed on March 28 with the purchase of a tract of land on the outskirts of the city. The land and existing building were purchased for $820,000. San Antonio paid $210,000 and signed a noninterest bearing note requiring the company to pay the remaining $610,000 on March 28, 2015. An interest rate of 6% properly reflects the time value of money for this type of loan agreement. Title search, insurance, and other closing costs totaling $21,000 were paid at closing.

Construction of a new building began on May 1 and was completed on October 29. Construction expenditures were as follows (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.):
