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.

Working:
| Asset | Assessed Value $ | Percentage of Total Assessed Value | Allocation of Purchase Price $ | 
| Land | 38000 | 20% | 36400 | 
| Building | 95000 | 50% | 91000 | 
| Machinery | 57000 | 30% | 54600 | 
| Total | 190000 | 100% | 182000 | 
Purchase price = Consideration + Appraisal cost = $180000 + $2000 = $182000
