Solution

The amount to be recorded in the separate account for the land can be calculated using the relative fair value method. Here are the steps:

  1. Calculate the total fair value of all assets: 500,000(land)+500,000 (land) + 800,000 (building) + 200,000(equipment)=200,000 (equipment) = 1,500,000.

  2. Calculate the proportion of the land's fair value to the total fair value: 500,000/500,000 / 1,500,000 = 0.3333 (or 33.33%).

  3. Multiply the total purchase price by the proportion calculated in step 2: 1.2million0.3333=1.2 million * 0.3333 = 400,000.

So, the amount that should be recorded in the separate account for the land is $400,000.
