Answer:
Explanation:
This is a question about allocation based on how much the street frontage will be valued in future. That value will then be allocated to the joint cost to see how much to apportion to Street Frontage now.
The total value of the Street Frontage after development is,
= 125 lots * $70,000
= $8,750,000
The total value of Golf lots are,
= 100 lots * $100,000
= $10,000,000
Adding them up,
= 10,000,000 + 8,750,000
= $18,750,000
This is the total amount of the company could make and therefore the lot's value.
Company incurred the following costs.
= 1,850,000 * 1,450,000
= $3,300,000
The amount of joint costs to be allocated to Street Frontage will be,
= 8,750,000/ 18,750,000 * 3,300,000
= $1,540,000
The amount to allocate to Street Frontage based on the total value of the lot is $1,540,000.
