Fullerton Waste Management purchased land and a warehouse for $710,000. In addition to the purchase price, Fullerton made the following expenditures related to the acquisition: broker's commission, $41,000; title insurance, $8,500; miscellaneous closing costs, $11,500. Assume that Fullerton decides to use the warehouse rather than demolish it. An independent appraisal estimates the fair values of the land and warehouse at $486,000 and $324,000, respectively. Determine the amounts Fullerton should capitalize as the cost of the land and the building. Capitalized Cost of Land = ? Capitalized Cost of Building = ?
