  Solution
1. first let us find out the total cost:
=>$390,000 for real estate + $20,670 for closing cost
=>$410,670.
total of appraised value = $234,000 for land + $78,000 improvements + $208,000 building
=>$520,000.
apportioned cost = percent of appraised value * total cost of acquisition.
2. the following is the required journal entry:
| Appraised value | percent of total appraised value | X Total cost of acquisition | = Apportioned cost | |
| Land | $234,000 | (234,000/520,000)*100 =>45% | 410,670 | $184,801.50 | 
| Land improvements | $78,000 | (78,000/520,000)*100 =>15% | 410,670 | $61,600.50 | 
| Building | $208,000 | (208,000/520,000)*100=>40% | 410,670 | $164,268 | 
| total | $520,000 | $410,670 |
