Explanation / Answer
Total Book Value of Asset = 627000
Total Liability = 358000
Capitalised Reasearch & Development Book Value = 53000 , Fair Value = 0
Patent Book Value = 0 , Fair Value = $ 133000
Book Value of Building = 353000
Other Asset Book Value = 627000-53000-353000
Other Asset Book Value = $ 221000 , Fair Value = $ 221000
Total Fair value of Asset less liability = Total Amount Paid - Goodwill recorded on purchase
Total Fair value of Asset less liability = 524000-103000
Total Fair value of Asset less liability = 421000
Total Fair value of Asset less liability excluding building = Patent + Other Asset Book Value - Total Liability
Total Fair value of Asset less liability excluding building = 133000+221000-358000
Total Fair value of Asset less liability excluding building = -4000
Fair Value of Building = Total Fair value of Asset less liability - Total Fair value of Asset less liability excluding building
Fair Value of Building = 421000- (-4000)
Fair Value of Building = $ 425000
Answer
Fair Value of Building = $ 424000
