Land appraised value is $175,000.
Land improvements appraised value is $70,000.
Buildings appraised value is $105,000.
Total amount paid by the company is 326,000.

Formula to calculate percentage of total:
Land
Substitute $175,000 as the appraised value of land and $350,000 as the total appraised value in the above formula,
Percentage of land is 50%
Land improvements
Substitute $70,000 as the appraised value of land improvements and $350,000 as the total appraised value,
Percentage of land improvements is 20%.
Building
