**Exercise: Real Estate Acquisition and Allocation**

Harding Corporation acquired real estate that contained land, building, and equipment. The total acquisition cost was $1,995,000. Harding paid $560,000 in cash and issued a note payable for the remainder. An appraisal of the property provided the following values:

- **Land:** $592,000
- **Building:** $1,760,000
- **Equipment:** $168,000

**Question:** What value will be reported for the land on the balance sheet?

**Note:** Round intermediate percentage values to a whole percentage.

**Multiple Choice Options:**
- $598,400
- $339,150
- $1,760,000
- $1,161,600

**Explanation:**

To determine the value reported for the land, you need to allocate the total cost based on the appraised values. Use the formula: 

\[ \text{Cost of Land} = \left( \frac{\text{Appraised Value of Land}}{\text{Total Appraised Value}} \right) \times \text{Total Cost} \]

Calculate the percentage of the total appraised value attributed to the land and apply it to the total cost of the acquisition.
