Answer: $38,410,000
Explanation:
When recording investments in fixed assets, it is best to use the market value at the time.
The market value of the land will therefore be the relevant cost here.
Initial investment in fixed assets = Market value of land + Cost to build plant + Cost of grading
= 7,700,000 + 29,300,000 + 1,410,000
= $38,410,000
Answer:
a. $135,845.77
b. $79,154.23
Explanation:
The computation of the basis is shown below:
a. For Land
= Total value of the property × land appraised value ÷ Total appraisal value
= $215,000 × $158,750 ÷ $251,250
= $135,845.77
b. For warehouse
= Total value of the property × warehouse appraised value ÷ Total appraisal value
= $215,000 × $92,500 ÷ $251,250
= $79,154.23
The total appraisal value is
= $92,500 + $158,750
= $251,250
