Answer:

The Individual assets will be recorded by the buyer as :

Machine 1 = $25,250

Machine 2=  $33,667

Machine 3=  $42,083

Explanation:

On Initial measurement, IAS 16 requires assets to be measured at cost to the buyer.

Apportion the Cost of $101,000 ($100,000 + $1,000) using individual market values of the assets.

Machine 1 = $30,000 / $120,000 × $101,000

                = $25,250

Machine 2= $40,000  / $120,000 × $101,000

                = $33,667

Machine 3= $50,000  / $120,000 × $101,000

                = $42,083
