Snowflake · Answer 1

land 400,000

land improvements 76,000

building 900,000

Explanation:

cost 165,000 cash + 175,000 note payable = 340,000

delinquent property tax 5,000

soil 55,000

total land: 340,000 + 5,000 + 55,000 = 400,000

period cost: 2,000 demolition + 4,000 insurance

building: 900,000

Notice the soil while it is used for the fundation It will be part of the land not the building. If we demolish the building later the soild will be still there.

land improvements

fence 52,000

sing 16,000

lighting 6,000

Total 76,000
