Answer:

Land=$134,784

Land Improvements=$50,544

Building=$151,632

Step-by-step explanation:

-We calculate the proportion of each itemized activity:

[tex]Land=\frac{216000}{540000}\\\\=0.4\\\\Land \ Improvements=\frac{81000}{540000}\\\\=0.15\\\\\\Building=1-(0.40+0.15)\\\\=0.45[/tex]

#We use these proportions to calculate the individual cost allocation as follows:

Land=336960*0.4= $134,784

Land Improvements=0336960*0.15= $50,544

Buildings=336960*0.45= $151,632

#We then used this values to form our journal entry as attached.
