1. The journal entry is shown below:

Building A/c Dr $122,000

Land A/c Dr $125,000

To Cash A/c $247,000

(Being the purchase of property is recorded)

The computations are shown below:

For Land:

= Purchase price of land + transfer cost

= $113,000 + $12,000

= $125,000

For building:

= Purchase price of land + transfer cost + renovation cost

= $86,000 + $3,000 + $33,000

= $122,000
