Answer 1

Answer:

d. $90,000, $60,000, $30,000 respectively.

Explanation:

The computation of price allocated is shown below:-

Ratio of values $90,000 : $60,000 : $30,000

= 3 : 2 : 1

Total cost = $180,000

Equipment = $180,000 × 3 ÷ 6

= $90,000

Installation= $180,000 × 2 ÷ 6

= $60,000

Training = $180,000 × 1 ÷ 6

= $30,000

Therefore the Equipment, Installation, Training is $90,000, $60,000, $30,000 respectively.
