Answer: Please see answer in the explanation column
Explanation:
a) Allocate the total cost among the three purchased assets
Total Appraised value of the three assets = Land(193,5000 )+land improvement(86,000) + building (150,500) =$430,000
Total amount of acquisition of assets =Purchase price of assets + closing costs = $385,000 + 20,405= $405,405
1)Asset --Land
Appraised value= $193,500
percentage of appraised value = appraised value of asset / total appraised value of the three assets x 100%= 193,500/430,000 x 100= 45%
Apportioned amount = 45% x $405405 = $182,432.25
2)Asset --Land improvements
Appraised value= $86,000
percentage of appraised value = appraised value of asset / total appraised value of the three assets x 100%= 86,000/430,000 x 100= 20%
Apportioned amount = 20% x $405405 = $81,081
3) Asset --Building
Appraised value= $150,500
percentage of appraised value = appraised value of asset / total appraised value of the three assets x 100%= 150,500/430,000 x 100= 35%
Apportioned amount = 35% x $405405 = $141,891.75
Total cost = Apportioned amount of ( Land + Land improvements +Building ) =
$182,432.25 + $81,081+ $141,891.75= $405,405
b)Journal entry to record purchase of the three assets
