Answer 1

Answer:

$1,484,020

Explanation:

Cost of Land :

= Purchase Value  + Cost Incurred to Tear  Down 2 Buildings - Salvage + Legal Fees + Title Insurance Cost + Assessment Cost

= $1,350,000 + $124,000 - $8,400 + $5,220 + $3,700 + $9,500

=  $1,484,020

Therefore, the cost of the land that should be recorded by Wilson Co. is $1,484,020.
