Explanation of Solution
Lump-Sum purchase:
If a company purchases a group of assets collectively and a lump sum amount is paid for such purchase, then it is referred to as basket purchase. The accounting term for this type of acquisition is the lump-sum purchase.
Ascertain the allocation of property costs to the three assets purchased as follows:
Assets | Fair Market Value (in $) | Percent of total= | Allocation of the purchase price based on the percentage of total |
Land | 175,000 | 163,000 | |
Land Improvements | 70,000 | 65,200 | |
Building | 105,000 | 97,800 | |
Total | $350,000 | $326,000 |
