Answer:

C. $17.25 million

Explanation:

In case of an acquisition, the assets are valued at their fair value and we will also include all unrecorded liabilities. Goodwill will be the excess payment over the net assets of the company. Excess fair value of land means that assets would increase by that amount to arrive at their fair value. Also, We have to include unrecorded liabilities in the total liabilities

Net Assets = Fair value of assets - Total liabilities

Or, Net Assets = (Book value of assets + Excess Fair value of land) - (Book value of liabilities + unrecorded liabilities)

Or, Net Assets = ($261 million + $3 million) - ($172.50 million + $6.75 million) = $84.75 million

Amount paid to acquire = $102 million

Goodwill = $102 million - $84.75 million = $17.25 million

Feliz [49]

Production Possibility Curve is the graphical representation of goods that an economy can produce, given resources & technology.

Points on PPC depict efficient utilisation of resources & technology. Points under PPC reflect underutilisation of resources & technology. Points above PPC are unattainable, being beyond economy's full efficient potential.

Unemployment means under utilisation of  human resource & this leads to production below PPC. So, the unemployment issue would be resolved by  generating better employment opportunities. This better utilisation of resources will tend to move the production output on to the PPC, towards the best potential efficient production - with given resources & technology.

Oxana [17]

Answer:

Land $81,500; Land Improvements $32,600; Building $48,900

Explanation:

Calculation for What should be the allocation of this property's costs in the company's accounting records

First step is to calculate the total value

Total value= $87,500 + $35,000 + $52,500

Total value= $175,000

Second step

Land appraised = $87,500 ÷ $175,000

Land appraised= 0.50

Land improvement = $35,000 ÷ $175,000

Land improvement = 0.20

Building appraised = $52,500 ÷ $175,000

Building appraised = 0.30

Third step is to calculate the Total Amount

Total Amount= $150,000 + $150,000 × 0.06 + $4,000

Total Amount= $150,000 + $9,000 + $4,000

Total Amount= $163,000

Last step is to calculate the allocation of this property's costs in the company's accounting records

Land appraised = $163,000 × 50%

Land appraised = = $81,500

Land improvement = $163,000 × 20%

Land improvement= $32,600

Building appraised = $163,000 × 30%

Building appraised = $48,900

Therefore What should be the allocation of this property's costs in the company's accounting records is :

Land $81,500; Land Improvements $32,600; Building $48,900
