Answer 1

Pinewood Company

Initial valuation of the buildings and the land are:

Building A = $585,000

Building B = $260,000

Land = $455,000

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Purchase price of buildings and land = $1,300,000

Fair values of:

Building A = $630,000

Building B = $280,000

Land = $490,000

Total fair value = $1,400,000

Initial valuation of the buildings and the land are:

Building A = $630,000/$1,400,000 * $1,300,000 = $585,000

Building B = $280,000/$1,400,000 * $1,300,000 = $260,000

Land = $490,000/$1,400,000 * $1,300,000 = $455,000

Total fair value = $1,300,000
