Answer:

the amount that the company would record the building is $ 4,235,350

Explanation:

Because the Assets (Equipment, Building and Land) purchased will be depreciated diferently, there is need to allocate the purchase cost to the respective assets.

Fair Values are used to Apportion cost of Assets as follows :

Equipment

1,000,000/ 10,000,000 × $6,050,500 = $605,050

Buildings

7,000,000/ 10,000,000 × $6,050,500 = $ 4,235,350

Land

2,000,000/ 10,000,000 × $6,050,500 = $1,210,100
