Answer 1

Correct option is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of Land:-

Purchase Cost = $325000

Demolition Cost = $12000

Cost of Attorneys for the Purchase Contract = $7500

Grading Cost= $18000

Less:- Scrape Sold = $3500

Total Cost of Land= $359000

Cost of Building:-

Cost of Architect Design= $40000

Cost of Building Permits= $8000

Cost of Construction of Building= $1275000

Total Cost of Building= $1323000

There is no Cost that will be reported as expenses as all the cost need to be capitalised.
