Answer to Question 1

1. The total fair market value of the assets if they had been purchased separately is: 300,000 + 700,000 + 200,000 = 1,200,000.
Land: (300,000/1,200,000) x 900,000 = 225,000
Building: (700,000/1,200,000) x 900,000 = 525,000
Equipment: (200,000/1,200,000) x 900,000 = 150,000
2. Depreciation for the building: 525,000/30 = 17,500
Depreciation for the equipment: (150,000-50,000)/8 = 12,500

Answer to Question 2

True
