In addition to the purchase price, Fullerton made the following expenditures related to the acquisition: broker’s commission, $30,000; title insurance, $3,000; miscellaneous closing costs, $6,000. 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 $420,000 and $280,000, respectively.
