property taxes expense        5810

loss at disposal (building) <u> 25,100</u>

balance:                              44,010

Explanation:

For building and land we should follow the accounting procedure of include all the incurred or assumed cost to contruct and leave it ready to use.

As there is no indication that construction was completed we should assume the building is under construction.

As we demolish the old building we should write-off and recognize  the loss and the demolition expense.

The property taxes after the purcahse are cost of the period.

Before the taxes were a necessary cost to acquire the land.

The salvage from the demolition decrease the expense are not considered revenue.
