In connection with your audit of Bing-Bong Corporation, you noted that on January 2, 2002,
the corporation purchased a building site for its proposed research and development
laboratory at a cost of P2,400,000. Construction of the building was started in 2002. The
building was completed on December 31, 2003, at a cost of P11,200,000 and was placed in

equipment was reduced from 4 to 2 years. No entry has yet been made in the books. For
2003, the company recorded depreciation of P16,000 for the said equipment.
