    Answer

    The total purchase price allocated to land, building, and machinery accounts is $140,840, $509,707 and $355,453 respectively.

    Explanation

    Calculation of Total purchase price

    Total purchase price = purchase price + legal fee

    = 1.000.000 + 6.000

    = 1.006.000

    Allocation of the total purchase price to the land, building, and machinery accounts in Tamarack Company's record:

    Land = Total purchase price * (Assesed Value of Land / Total Property Assessed Value)

    = 1.006.000 * (126.000 / 900.000)

    = 140.840

    Building = Total Purchase Price * (Assesed Value of Machinery / Total Property Assessed Value)

    Building = 1.006.000 * (318.000 / 900.000) = 355.453,3

    Thus, the total purchase price allocated to land, building, and machinery accounts is $140,840, $509,707 and $355,453 respectively.
