    b. $1,200,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of cost assigned to the equipment is given below:-

    = (Lump sum amount : Total market value) * Market value of equipment

    = $6,000,000 : ($400,000 + $800,000 + $300,000) * $300,000

    = $6,000,000 : $1,500,000 * $300,000

    = $4 * $300,000

    = $1,200,000

    Therefore for computing the cost assigned to the equipment we simply applied the above formula.
