                          Working                                                  Allocated cost($)

Land        (639,300 / 716,016 )x 136,043                                 121467

Building   (639,300 / 716,016 )x 179,004                                 159825

Furniture   (639,300 / 716,016 )x 400,969                              358008

Total                                                                                          639,300

b). Statement model

Assets : Cash + Land + Building + Furniture
