Bonner Company

Bonner should calculate the value to record for Land as follows:

d. 300,000/900,000 x 855,000

Explanation:

The Land should be recorded at $285,000 based on the above mentioned formula.  The formula considers the current assessed value of the Land versus the amount paid by Bonner for the group of assets (Land, Warehouse and Office Buildings).  The computation of the value at which to record the Land and other assets must be proportional to the current assessed values.
