Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Land A/c Dr $1,459,920

Equipment A/c Dr $2,085,600

Building A/c Dr $1,668,480

          To Cash A/c $2,607,000         ($5,214,000 × 50%)

           To Notes payable A/c  $2,607,000       ($5,214,000 × 50%)

(Being purchase of property is recorded)

The total property cost would be

= $4,700,000 + $185,000 + $218,000 + $111,000

= $5,214,000

Estimated value of land = $5,214,000 × 28% = $1,459,920

Estimated value of building = $5,214,000 × 40% = $2,085,600

Estimated value of equipment = $5,214,000 × 32% = $1,668,480
