On this date, Cord's stock had a fair value of $40 a share. Current assessed values of land and building for property tax purposes are $160,000 and $640,000, respectively.

On March 25, 2018, new parking lots, streets, and sidewalks at the acquired plant facility were completed at a total cost of $222,000. These expenditures had an estimated useful life of 12 years.

The leasehold improvements were completed on December 31, 2014, and had an estimated useful life of eight years. The related lease, which would terminate on December 31, 2020, was renewable for an additional four-year term. On April 30, 2018, Cord exercised the renewal option.

* Land & Building Acquired against shares = 30000 shares * $40 = $1200000

   Land Fair value = 1200000/800000 * 160000 = $240000

   Building Fair Value = 1200000/800000 * 640000 = $960000

** Machinery & Equipment = $330000 + $12000 + $55000 = $397000
