They paid $10,000 for paving of a parking lot. What amount does Elway record as the cost for the land?a. $88,200b. $100,700c. $90,700d. $85,000

Answer 1

Answer:

c. $90,700

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of the land is shown below:

= Purchase cost of land + property taxes + attorney fees + land graded cost

= $85,000 + $2,500 + $1,000 + $2,200

= $90,700

We added the property taxes, attorney fees, and the land graded cost to the purchase cost of the land. We do not include the parking lot expenses
