The journal entry is shown below:

Land A/c Dr $100,000

Building A/c Dr $60,000

Equipment A/c Dr $40,000

To Cash A/c $200,000

(Being the lump sum amount is recorded)

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Land A/c Dr $100,000

Building A/c Dr $60,000

Equipment A/c Dr $40,000

To Cash A/c $200,000

(Being the lump sum amount is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

= (Market value of one asset : Total market value of all assets) * lump-sum amount

Where,

Total market value of all assets would be

= $105,000 + $63,000 + $42,000

= $210,000

For land, the value would be

= ($105,000 : $210,000) * $200,000

= $100,000

The above formula is used for rest assets i. e equipment and the building
