Question

You are the project manager at Janson Manufacturing. Feedback from the annual employee's survey revealed that employees were interested in having a fitness center. Thus, last week, you closed the deal and purchased land and a building for $6 million. Other expenses incurred in connection to this purchase included:

An independent appraisal was requested to determine the individual fair value estimates. The land appraised at $5.5 million and the building at $1.9 million. Spending on the property started right away. Janson installed fences and completed the driveway at a cost of $45,000 and $75,000, respectively.

Attorney fees for the contract	$10,000
Commissions	55,000
Title insurance	8,500
Pro-rated Property taxes	75,000

What is the initial valuation of each asset Janson purchased in these transactions?
Suppose Janson, immediately after acquiring the property, decided to tear down the building. The cost of the removal of the building was $350,000 and salvaged materials sold for $8,000. An additional $100,000 was paid to grade the land for building the new fitness center. What is the initial valuation of each asset Janson acquired in this transaction?
