Answer 1

Total appraised value: $480,000 + $1,920,000 = $2,400,000.

1. Cost of Land A: $2,000,000 x $480,000 / $2,400,000 = $400,000.
2. Cost of building A: $2,000,000 x $1,920,000 / $2,400,000 = $1,600,000.
3. Estimated life: ($1,600,000 - $200,000) / $56,000 = 25 years.
4. Depreciation: ($1,600,000 - $200,000) / 25 years = $56,000.
