Answer:
The journal entry for the group purchase is:
Dr Land 75,000
Dr Building 45,000
Dr Equipment 30,000
Cr Note Payable 150,000
(to record purchase of fixed asset on note payable issuance)
Explanation:
We have the total purchasing price will be allocated to Land; Building; Equipment accounts based on their percentage of market values calculated as below:
* Total market value = 80,000 + 48,000 + 32,000 = $160,000.
* Percentage allocated to Land = 80,000/160,000 = 50% => Amount allocated to land = 50% x 150,000 = $75,000.
* Percentage allocated to Building = 48,000/160,000 = 30% => Amount allocated to Building = 30% x 150,000 = $45,000.
* Percentage allocated to Equipment = 32,000/160,000 = 20% => Amount allocated to Equipment = 20% x 150,000 = $30,000.
