Question:

On April 1, 2000, Mission Company paid $\$ 360,000$ in cash to purchase land, a building, and equipment. The appraised fair market values of the assets were as follows: land, $\$ 90,000$; building, $\$ 260,000$; and equipment, $\$ 50,000$. The company incurred legal fees of $\$ 3,000$ to determine that it would have a clear title to the land. Before the facilities could be used, Mission had to spend $\$ 2,500$ to grade and landscape the land, $\$ 4,000$ to put the equipment in working order, and $\$ 15,000$ to renovate the building. The equipment was then estimated to have a useful life of six years with no salvage value, and the building would have a useful life of 20 years with a net salvage value of $\$ 15,000$. Both the equipment and the building are to be depreciated on a straight-line basis. The company is on a calendar-year reporting basis.

1. Allocate the lump-sum purchase price to the individual assets acquired.

2. Prepare the journal entry to acquire the land, building, and equipment.
