Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The following can be calculated from the information given:

Total Asset Fair Value which will be:

= Land + Building + Equipment

= 73200 + 268400 + 97600

= $439200

Recorder Amount will now be:

Land = 73200 / 439200 × 384300

Land = 64050

Building = 268400 / 439200 × 384300

Building = 234850

Equipment = 97600 / 439200 × 384300

Equipment = 85400
