    d) $ 40,300.

    Explanation:

    At the time of recording of the fixed assets, the fixed assets should be recorded at purchase cost or historical price

    Since in the question, the land was acquired at $40,300 and the assessed valuation for tax purposes is also done for $28,000 plus there is a qualified appraiser for $50,000 and the cash payment is also made for $44,000

    But at the time of reporting, the balance sheet would show at the acquired price i. e $40,300
