Explanation:
Using the appraisal method to apportion the cost of an asset to the components of the asset involves the consideration of the appraised cost of each individual item as a portion of the total cost of the asset.
Thus, given that Rodriguez Company pays $389,610 for real estate with land, land improvements, and a building
Appraised cost of
Land = $247,500
Land improvements = $55,000
Building = $247,500
Total appraised cost of the asset = $247,500 +$55,000 + $247,500
= $550,000
Allocated cost of;
Land = $247,500/$550,000 * $389,610
= $175,324.50
Land improvements = $55,000/$550,000 * $389,610
= $38,961.00
Building = $247,500/$550,000 * $389,610
= $175,324.50
