Answer

The total purchase price allocated to land, building, and machinery accounts is $140,840, $509,707 and $355,453 respectively.

Explanation

Calculation of Total purchase price

  • Total purchase price = purchase price + legal fee        

                                   = 1.000.000 + 6.000

                                   = 1.006.000  

Allocation of the total purchase price to the land, building, and machinery accounts in Tamarack Company’s record:

  • Land = Total purchase price * (Assesed Value of Land / Total Property       Assessed Value)

= 1.006.000 * (126.000 / 900.000)

= 140.840

  • Building = Total Purchase Price * (Assesed Value of Machinery / Total Property Assessed Value)

Building =  1.006.000 * (318.000 / 900.000) = 355.453,3

Thus, the total purchase price allocated to land, building, and machinery accounts is $140,840, $509,707 and $355,453 respectively.

The total purchase price of the plant to the land is $140,840, building is  $509,707, and machinery accounts in Tamarack Company’s records is: $355,453.

Total purchase price

Total purchase price= $1,000,000 + $6,000

Total purchase price= $1,006,000

Hence,

Land

Land= Total purchase price × appraisal value of land ÷ total appraisal value

Land= $1,006,000 × $126,000 ÷ $900,000

Land= $140,840

Building

Building= Total purchase price × appraisal value of building ÷ total appraisal value

Building= $1,006,000 × $456,000 ÷ $900,000

Building= $509,707

Machinery

Machinery= Total purchase price × appraisal value of land ÷ total appraisal value

Machinery= $1,006,000 × $318,000 ÷ $900,000

Machinery= $355,453

Inconclusion the total purchase price of the plant to the land is $140,840, building is  $509,707, and machinery accounts in Tamarack Company’s records is: $355,453.
