Answer: The portion of these costs that will be allocated to the cost of the land is $206,400 and the portion that should be allocated to the cost of the new building is 0.
Explanation:
The following information can be gotten from the question:
Purchase price = $184,000
Real estate commissions = $15,900
Legal fees = $1,700
Expenses of clearing the land = $2,900
Expenses to remove old building = $1,900
Therefore, the portion of these costs should be allocated to the cost of the land will be:
= $184,000 + $15,900 + $1,700 + $2,900 + $1,900
= $206,400
It should also be noted that building cost will be 0.
