1-a. Allocate the lump-sum purchase price to the separate assets purchased. 1-b. Prepare the journal entry to record the purchase. 2. Compute the first-year depreciation expense on the building using the straight-line method, assuming a 15-year life and a $28,000 salvage value. 3. Compute the first-year depreciation expense on the land improvements assuming a five-year life and double-declining-balance depreciation.

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
