Light stone Equipment Ltd. wanted to expand into New Brunswick and was impressed by the provincial government’s grant program for new industry. Once it was sure that it would qualify for the grant program, it purchased property in downtown Saint John on June 15, 2017. The property cost $235,000 and Light stone spent the next two months gutting the building and reconstructing the two floors to meet the company’s needs. The building has a useful life of 20 years and an estimated residual value of $65,000. In late August 2017, the company moved into the building and began operations. Additional information follows: 1. The property was assessed at $195,000, with $145,000 allocated to the land. 2. Architectural drawings and engineering fees related to the construction cost $18,000. 3. The company paid $17,000 to the contractor for gutting the building and $108,400 for construction. Light stone expects that these improvements will last for the remainder of the life of the building. 4. The provincial government contributed $75,000 toward the building costs.
