Q1. Maria Co. purchased an office building and the land on which it is located by paying P800,000 cash and assuming an existing mortgage of P200,000. The property is assessed at P960,000 for realty tax purposes, of which 60% is allocated to the building.

Maria leased construction equipment under a seven-year capital lease requiring annual year-end payments of P100,000. Link's incremental borrowing rate is 9%, while the lessor's implicit rate, which is not known to Link, is 8%. Present value factors for an ordinary annuity for seven periods are 5.21 at 8% and 5.04 at 9%. Fair value of the equipment is P515,000.

Maria paid P50,000 and gave a plot of undeveloped land with a carrying amount of P320,000 and a fair value of P450,000 to Club Co. in exchange for a plot of undeveloped land with a fair value of P500,000. The land was carried on Club's books at P350,000. This transaction is considered to lack commercial substance; the configuration of cash flows from the land acquired is not expected to be significantly different from the configuration of cash flows of the land exchanged.

Calculate the following amounts to be recorded by Maria.

1. Building.

2. Leased equipment.

3. Land received from Club on Link's books.

4. Land received from Link on Club's books.
