A warehouse supply company purchased land, a building, and equipment in a lump-sum purchase for $495,000. An independent appraisal set the value of the land at $296,000, the building at $210,900, and the equipment at $62,700. Immediately following the purchase, the company spent $24,200 renovating the building to get it ready for its intended use. At what amount should the warehouse supply company record each new asset - Land, Building, and Equipment, respectively? (Round to the nearest whole percentage if using the weighted average method.)
A. |

B. |
$257,400, $207,350, and $54,450 |

E. |
$296,000, $235,100, and $62,700 |
“weighted average method” will be used to allocate the purchase price by taking into consideration the appraisal value of assets
Weight average method:
Asset |

Weight |
Land |
296000 |
52% |
Building |
210900 |
37& |
Equipment |
62700 |
11% |
Total |
569600 |
100% |
* Round to the nearest whole percentage
Allocation of purchase price:
Land = 495000*52%=257400
Building = 495000*37%=183150+24200=207350
Equipment = 495000*11%= 54450
