Explanation:

In this question, we are asked at what value should the land be recorded in White Repair services records.

Technically, the value of land is to be recorded as purchase price plus improvements.

Generally, what we mean by improvements include such fees such as attorney fees. Looking at the question, we cannot find any of the entries that speaks about payment yo an attorney or any general land issue. This means that we only record the value of the land as purchase price only.

Looking at the question, the purchase price is the accepted seller's counter offer. This value is $115,000. Hence, it is the value at which the land would be recorded in White repair service records
