    19.23%

    Explanation:

    if the total price paid was $530,000, that would equal 100%

    now we must determine the specific weight of each component as estimated by the appraiser:

    total value = $125,000 + $430,000 + $95,000 = $650,000

    office furniture = $125,000 / $650,000 = 0.1923 or 19.23% building = $430,000 / $650,000 = 0.6615 or 66.15% land = $95,000 / $650,000 = 0.1462 or 14.62%
