Question

Red Rock Bakery purchases land, building, and equipment for a single purchase price of $260,000. However, the estimated fair values of the land, building, and equipment are $126,000, $198,000, and $36,000, respectively, for a total estimated fair value of $360,000. Determine the amounts Red Rock should record in the separate accounts for the land, the building, and the equipment.

Answer 1

Answer:

Land ($91,000), building ($143,000) and equipment ($26,000)

Explanation:

We can allocate the fair values as follows:

Particulars          Fair value          Allocated amount

                               (a)                 (b) = (a)/Total*$260,000

Land                    $126,000                 $91,000

Building                 198,000                 143,000

Equipment              36,000                  26,000

Total                   $360,000              $260,000

The amount that the company would record for the individual asset is as provided above.
