Option "C" is the correct answer to the following question.

Explanation:

Given:

Market price of land = $500,000

Amount paid for land = $550,000

Development cost on land = $150,000

Assets Non-Fund account = ?

Computation of Capital Assets Non-Fund:

Capital Assets Non-Fund account balance = Market price of land + Development cost on land

Capital Assets Non-Fund account balance = $500,000 + $150,000

Capital Assets Non-Fund account balance = $650,000
