Answer:
1. a. Allocated prices
First add the market values = 444,150 + 255,150 + 56,700 + 189,000 = $945,0
00
Building allocated price Land allocated price
= 444,150/ 945,000 * 830,000 = 255,150/945,000 * 830,000
= $390,100 = $224,100
Land improvement allocated price Four vehicles allocate price
= 56,700/945,000 * 830,000 = 189,000/945,000 * 830,000
= $49,800 = $166,000
b. Journal entry
Date Account Details Debit Credit
Jan. 1, 2017 Building $390,100
Land $224,100
Land improvement $49,800
Vehicles $166,000
Cash $830,000
2. Depreciation on building using straight-line method.
= (390,100 - 28,000) / 15
= $24,140
3. Depreciation on land improvements using double declining method.
First do straight line:
= 49,800/ 5 years
= $9,960
Straight line rate of depreciation = 9,960/49,800 = 20%
Double declining will be twice that rate = 40%
Depreciation = 40% * 49,800
= $19,920
