‘Option b, Land, $163,000; land improvements, $60,000; building, $97,800.’ is correct.

Given,

Land appraised value is $175,000.

Land improvements appraised value is $70,000.

Buildings appraised value is $105,000.

Total amount paid by the company is 326,000.

Formula of total appraised value:

  TotalAppraisedvalue=(Appraisedvalueofland+Appraisedvalueoflandimprovements+Appraisedvalueofbuilding)

Substitute $175,000 as the appraised value of land, $70,000 as the appraised value of land improvements and $105,000 as the appraised value of the building in the above formula,

  Totalappraisedvalue=$175,000+$70,000+$105,000=$350,000

Total appraised value is $350,000

Percentage of total

Formula to calculate percentage of total:

  Percentageoftotal=AppraisedvalueTotalappraisedvalue

Land

Substitute $175,000 as the appraised value of land and $350,000 as the total appraised value in the above formula,

  Percentageofland=( $175,000 $350,000)=50%

Percentage of land is 50%

Land improvements

Substitute $70,000 as the appraised value of land improvements and $350,000 as the total appraised value,

  Percentageoflandimprovements=( $70,000 $350,000)=20%

Percentage of land improvements is 20%.

Building

Substitute $105,000 as the appraised value of the building and $350,000 as the total appraised value.

  Percentageofbuilding=( $105,000 $350,000)=30%

Percentage of building is 30%.

Apportioned cost

Given,

Total amount paid is $326,000

Formula to calculate Apportioned cost:

  Apportionedcost=Perentageoftotal×Amountpaid

Land

Substitute 50% as the percentage of total for land and $326,000 as amount paid,

  Apportionedcost=50%×$326,000=$163.000

Apportioned cost of land is $163,000.

Land Improvements

Substitute 20% as the percentage of total for land improvements and $326,000 as amount paid,

  Apportionedcost=20%×$326,000=$65,200

Apportioned cost of land improvements is $65,200.

Building

Substitute 30% as the percentage of total for building and $326,000 as amount paid,

  Apportionedcost=30%×$326,000=$97,800

Apportioned cost of building is $97,800.

Hence , therefore the answer is ‘option b’.
