    Buildings = $630,000

    Land = $270,000

    Explanation:

    When a lump purchase price is given on buildings and land, the costs of Building and Land must be determined separately using fair values.

    This is because Depreciation on Land and Building is different.

    Buildings

    Cost = (450,000+250,000) / 1000,000 * $900,000

    = $630,000

    Land

    Cost = (300,000) / 1000,000 * $900,000

    = $270,000
