Answer:

Land = $540,000: Building A = $810,000: Building B = $450,000

Explanation:

Assets        Fair values   Weight  Valuation

Land            $570,000     30%       $540,000

Building A   $855,000     45%        $810,000

Building B   $475,000      25%       $450,000

Total            $1,900,000                 $1,800,000

Note: Valuation = Weight*Lump - Sum purchase amount

          Weight = Fair values / Total fair values
