Allocate the costs incurred by solaris


In January 2011, Solaris Co. pays $2,600,000 for a tract of land with two buildings on it. It plans to demolish Building 1 and build a new store in its place. Building 2 will be a company office; it is appraised at $540,000, with a useful life of 20 years and an $85,000 salvage value. A lighted parking lot near Building 1 has improvements (Land Improvements 1) valued at $570,000 that are expected to last another 12 years with no salvage value. Without the buildings and improvements, the tract of land is valued at $1,890,000. Solaris also incurs the following additional costs:

Cost to demolish Building 1 $ 339,400
Cost of additional land grading 187,400
Cost to construct new building (Building 3), having a useful life of 25 years and a $400,000 salvage value 2,282,000
Cost of new land improvements (Land Improvements 2) near Building 2 having a 20-year useful life and no salvage value 168,000

Allocate the costs incurred by Solaris to the appropriate columns and total each column.
