Fullerton waste management purchased land and a warehouse for $610,000. in addition to the purchase price, fullerton made the following expenditures related to the acquisition: broker’s commission, $31,000; title insurance, $3,500; miscellaneous closing costs, $6,500. an independent appraisal estimates the fair values of the land and warehouse at $497,000 and $213,000, respectively.
determine the amounts fullerton should capitalize as the cost of the land and the building.
capitalized cost of land = $
capitalized cost of building = $

Capitalized cost of land = $455,700

Capitalized cost of building = $ 195,300

Explanation:

All the costs of purchasing the land and warehouse should be capitalized so we first have to sum all the costs

Cost of land and warehouse $610,000

+

Brokers comission $31,000

+

title insurance $3,500

+

miscellaneous closing costs $6,500

Total cost to be capitalized $651,000

Then you must devide into cost of land and cost of building

For this we will use the independent appraisal estimates

Land $497,000/($497,000+$213,000)=0,7

Building $213,00/($497,000+$213,000)=0,3

Then Capitalized cost of land would be $651,000*0,7=$455,700

Capitalized cost of building would be $651,000*0,3=$195,300
