Question

Riverboat Adventures pays $170,000 plus $14,000 in closing costs to buy out a competitor. The real estate consists of land appraised at $22,000, a building appraised at $79,200, and paddleboats appraised at $118,800. Compute the cost that should be allocated to the building. Multiple Choice $66,240. $61,200. $79,200.

Answer 1

Total cost allocated to building = $66,240

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total amount pay = $170,000 + $14,000 = $184,000

Land appraised amount = $22,000

Building appraised amount = $79,200

Paddleboats appraised price = $118,800

Find:

Total cost allocated to building

Computation:

Total appraisal price = Land appraised amount + Building appraised amount + Paddleboats appraised price

Total appraisal price = $22,000 + $79,200 + 118,800

Total appraisal price = $220,000

Total cost allocated to building = [Total amount pay / Total appraisal price]Building appraised amount

Total cost allocated to building = [184,000/220,000]79,200

Total cost allocated to building = $66,240
