Solution

The basket purchase allocation method is used when a company purchases multiple assets together for a single price. It involves allocating the total purchase price between the different assets based on their relative fair market values.

Here's how to calculate it:

  1. Determine the total appraised value of all assets. In this case, the land was appraised at 25,000andthebuildingat25,000 and the building at 75,000, so the total appraised value is $100,000.

  2. Calculate the percentage of the total appraised value that each asset represents. The land represents 25% (25,000/25,000/100,000) of the total, and the building represents 75% (75,000/75,000/100,000).

  3. Allocate the purchase price based on these percentages. The land would be recorded at 25% of the 80,000purchaseprice,or80,000 purchase price, or 20,000. The building would be recorded at 75% of the purchase price, or $60,000.

So, the correct answer is: "land at 20,000andthebuildingat20,000 and the building at 60,000".
