PROBLEM NO. 2

On January 1, 2004, Olive Corporation purchased a tract of land (site number 101) with
a building for P1,800,000. Additionally, Olive paid a real state broker’s commission of
P108,000, legal fees of P18,000 and title guarantee insurance of P54,000. The closing
statement indicated that the land value was P1,500,000 and the building value was
P300,000. Shortly after acquisition, the building was razed at a cost of P225,000.

Olive entered into a P9,000,000 fixed-price contract with Waylili Builders, Inc. on March 1,
2004 for the construction of an office building on the land site 101. The building was
completed and occupied on September 30, 2005. Additional construction costs were
incurred as follows:

Plans, specifications and blueprints P 36,000

Architect’s fees for design and supervision 285,000

The building is estimated to have a forty-year life from date of completion and will be
depreciated using the 150%-declining-balance method.

To finance the construction cost, Olive borrowed P9,000,000 on March 1, 2004. The loan
is payable in ten annual installments of P900,000 plus interest at the rate of 14%. Olive
used part of the loan proceeds for working capital requirements. Olive’s average amounts
of accumulated building construction expenditures were as follows:

For the period March 1 to December 31, 2004 P2,700,000

For the period January 1 to September 31, 2005 6,900,000

Olive is using the allowed alternative treatment for borrowing cost.
