Explanation:

Using the appraisal method to apportion the cost of an asset to the components of the asset involves the consideration of the appraised cost of each individual item as a portion of the total cost of the asset.

Thus, given that  Rodriguez Company pays $389,610 for real estate with land, land improvements, and a building

Appraised cost of

Land = $247,500

Land improvements = $55,000

Building = $247,500

Total appraised cost of the asset = $247,500 +$55,000 + $247,500

= $550,000

Allocated cost of;

Land = $247,500/$550,000 * $389,610

= $175,324.50

Land improvements = $55,000/$550,000 * $389,610

= $38,961.00

Building = $247,500/$550,000 * $389,610

= $175,324.50
