land, a building, or a piece of used equipment and incurs demolition,

renovation, or repair costs before it can't be used, these additional costs

are capitalized as a cost of the land, building, or equipment. These costs

are capitalized because they are needed to prepare the asset for use.

together. When this occurs, the total cost is split among the assets in
