Calculate the amount that should be recorded by Crow Co. as the cost of each piece of equipment

Answer 1

Answer:

• Punch Press - $12,502
• Lathe - $3,908.52
• Welder - $2,344.36

Explanation:

Cost will be allocated based on proportion of total Appraiser's estimate of fair value.

Total Appraisal Estimate = 16,000 + 5000 + 3,050

= $24,050

Total Purchase Price = Purchase price + Installation cost

=17,000 + 1,800

=$18,800

Punch Press

Punch Press proportion = $\frac{16,000}{24,050} * 100$

= 66.5%

Punch Press Cost = 66.5% * 18,800

= $12,502

Lathe

Lathe proportion = $\frac{5,000}{24,050} * 100$

= 20.79%

Punch Press Cost = 20.79% * 18,800

= $3,908.52

Welder

Welder proportion = $\frac{3,000}{24,050} * 100$

= 12.47%

Punch Press Cost = 12.47% * 18,800

= $2,344.36
