A company acquired an office building, land, and equipment in a single basket purchase. The fair values were $1,200,000, $600,00

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The total purchase cost for all three assets is $1,800,000.

Explanation:

Ratios based on fair values were:

6: 3: 1 for Office Building $1,200,00 : Land $600,000 : Equipment $200,000. Therefore, office building represents 60%, Land 30%, and Equipment 10% of the cost.

Since the Office building costs $1,080,000, using the above fair values ratio, this cost represents 60% of the total.

Therefore, the total cost will be $1,800,000 ($1,080,000/60 X 100).

The total purchase cost for all three assets is obtained using the proportion method of cost allocation based on the given fair values.

Estimated manufacturing overhead at the beginning of the year = $511,440 - $23,540 = $487,900.
