    c. Land $81,500; Land Improvements, $32,600; Building, $48,900.

    Explanation:

    For computing the allocation of all property, we need to follow the steps which is described below:

    Step 1: Find out the total value of all properties

    Step 2: Weighted of each property to the total amount of properties

    Step 3: Find out the total amount which is to be paid

    Step 4: Multiply step 3 by step 2

    So,

    The total value of all properties equals to

    = Land appraised cost + land improvement appraised cost + building appraised cost

    = $87,500 + $35,000 + $52,500

    = $175,000

    Now weightage for each property

    For land appraised = $87,500 : $175,000 = 0.50

    For land improvement = $35,000 : $175,000 = 0.20

    For building appraised = $52,500 : $175,000 = 0.30

    The total amount which is to be paid equals to

    = Paid amount + paid amount * commission + closing cost for a property

    = $150,000 + $150,000 * 0.06 + $4,000

    = $150,000 + $9,000 + $4,000

    = $163,000

    Now,

    For Land appraised = $163,000 * 50% = $81,500

    For land improvement = $163,000 * 20% = $32,600

    For building appraised = $163,000 * 30% = $48,900
