In: Accounting
Total value of land and building valued = $1,750,000
Value of land = 1,750,000 * 20% = $350,000
Value of Building = $1,400,000
Computation of allocation of cost in books
Cost of land = 1,500,000 * (350,000 / 1,750,000)
= $300,000
Cost of Building = 1,500,000 *(1,400,000 / 1,750,000)
= $1,200,000
In the books it is recorded as land as $300,000 and building as $1,200,000
