    D. $156,200

    Explanation:

    Given

    Cost of Land = $145000 cash.

    Property Tax = $5500

    Title and attorney fees = $1800.

    Land grading = $3900.

    Paving of a parking lot = $16000

    The amount does Ivanhoe record as the cost for the land is calculated as follows;

    First, we need to understand that only amount paid by Ivanhoe directly for the land will be considered.

    In this case, amount paid for parking lot will not be included ...

    This is calculated by adding the following;

    Cost of Land, Property Tax, Title and attorney fees and Land grading.

    Hence, total amount = $145000 + $5500 + $1800 + $3900.

    Total = $156,200

    Ivanhoe holds a record of $156,200 as the cost for the land
