2.Dr Land $163,478
Dr r Land Improvement $54,493
Dr Building $145,314

Explanation:
1. Calculation to Allocate the total cost among the three assets
First step is to Add up all expenditure costs Total Expenditure costs =$198,000+$66,000+$176,000
Total Expenditure costs =$440,000
Second step is to divide each expenditure up by the total amount
Land=($198,000/$440,000= 0.45)
Land improvement=($66,000/$440,000= 0.15)
Building=($176,000/$440,000= 0.40)
Now let Allocate the total cost among the three assets
Land=0.45* $363,285
Land = $163,478
Land improvement=0.15*$363,285
Land Improvement=$54,493
Building=0.40*$363,285
Building=$145,314
Total $363,285
($163,478+$54,493+$145,314)
Therefore the total allocation cost among the three assets is:
Land $163,478
Land Improvement $54,493
Building $145,314
2. Preparation of the journal entry to record the purchase
