Respuesta :

Answer:

Cost of land = $220,400

Cost of building = $0

Explanation:

The computation of the land and the cost of the new building is shown below:

Cost of land = Purchase price + Real estate commissions + Legal fees + Expenses of clearing the land + Expenses to remove old building

= $194,000 + $16,900 + $2,700 + $3,900 + $2,900

= $220,400

The cost of the new building would be zero as all the costs are allocated to the cost of the land. So, no cost is allocated to the cost of the new building
