    The journal entry for the group purchase is:

    Dr Land 75,000

    Dr Building 45,000

    Dr Equipment 30,000

    Cr Note Payable 150,000

    (to record purchase of fixed asset on note payable issuance)

    Explanation:

    We have the total purchasing price will be allocated to Land; Building; Equipment accounts based on their percentage of market values calculated as below:

    * Total market value = 80,000 + 48,000 + 32,000 = $160,000.

    * Percentage allocated to Land = 80,000/160,000 = 50% = > Amount allocated to land = 50% x 150,000 = $75,000.

    * Percentage allocated to Building = 48,000/160,000 = 30% = > Amount allocated to Building = 30% x 150,000 = $45,000.

    * Percentage allocated to Equipment = 32,000/160,000 = 20% = > Amount allocated to Equipment = 20% x 150,000 = $30,000.
