Andrew Lupino went into business by purchasing a car lubrication station consisting of land, a building, and equipment. The seller's original asking price was $210,000. Lupino hired an appraiser for $2,000 to appraise the assets. The appraised valuations were:
Property |
Assessed Value |
---|---|
Land | $38,000 |
Building | 95,000 |
Equipment | 57,000 |
Total | $190,000 |
After receiving the appraisal, Lupino offered $170,000 for the business. The seller refused this offer. Lupino then offered $180,000 for the business, which the seller accepted. Using the appraisal values as a guide, allocate the total purchase price of the car lubrication station to the Land, Building, and Equipment accounts.

Land | 38000 | 20% | 36400 |
Building | 95000 | 50% | 91000 |

Total | 190000 | 100% | 182000 |
Purchase price = Consideration + Appraisal cost = $180000 + $2000 = $182000
