1) there is no fixed formula for allocating land costs, specially since you should try to allocate more costs to the building or other depreciable assets than to land, but the IRS is not allowing this anymore. In some places, it is not accepting the old 80/20 rule or even a 60/40 rule for allocating costs, instead it is requiring costs to be allocated based on a professional appraisal.

cost of land:

appraisal value = $262,800real estate taxes = ($262,800 / $365,000) x $20,000 = $14,400fee to real estate broker = ($262,800 / $365,000) x $2,500 = $1,800cost of removing barn = $8,500attorney's fees for closing sale = ($262,800 / $365,000) x $12,500 = $9,000grading land = $3,500total cost of land = $300,000

cost of building:

appraisal value = $102,200real estate taxes = ($102,200 / $365,000) x $20,000 = $5,600fee to real estate broker = $700architect's fees for updating building = $6,750attorney's fees for closing sale = $3,500cost of repairs to building due to storm = $1,300total cost of building = $120,050

cost of land improvements:

paving parking lot = $7,000planting trees and shrubs = $9,250lights placed on driveway = $4,750total cost of land improvements = $21,000

2) if we assume MACRS 20 year property (double declining), half year convention for depreciating the building, the depreciation for 2013 would be 3.75% x $120,050 = $4,501.86 ≈ $4,502

December 31, 2013, depreciation expense

Dr Depreciation expense 4,502

Cr Accumulated depreciation: building 4,502

3) land improvements depreciation expense for year using straight line method = $21,000 / 5 = $4,200 x 2/12 = $700

December 31, 2013, depreciation expense

Dr Depreciation expense 700
