Answer 1

Allocation of office building cost :

Land = 1100000*429306/1008520 = 468247

Building = 1100000*579214/1008520 = 631753

2) Straight line depreciation expense = (12200-1200)/5 =2200 per year

2011 dep = 2200

2012 dep = 2200

Accumlated dep at the end of 2012 = 2200*2 = 4400

Book value at the end of 2012 = 12200-4400 = 7800
