steel products, began operations on October 1, 2006. The accounting department of Crow has started the fixed-asset and depreciation schedule presented on page 563.

3. Land B was acquired on October 2, 2006, in exchange for 2,500 newly issued shares of Crow's common stock. At the date of acquisition, the stock had a par value of $5 per share and a fair value of $30 per share. During October 2006, Crow paid $16,000 to demolish an existing building on this land so it could construct a new building.
4. Construction of Building B on the newly acquired land began on October 1, 2007. By September 30, 2008, Crow had paid $320,000 of the estimated total construction costs of $450,000. It is estimated that the building will be completed and occupied by July 2009.
5. Certain equipment was donated to the corporation by a local university. An independent appraisal of the equipment when donated placed the fair market value at $30,000 and the salvage value at $3,000.
