Answer:
$116,396
Explanation:
Given that,
Building with an appraisal value = $137,400
Offer price = $152,472
Purchaser acquires the property for cash = $38,466
Note payable = $24,917
Mortgage = $53,013
Total amount to be paid:
= Cash paid + Note payable + Mortgage taken
= $38,466 + $24,917 + $53,013
= $116,396
Therefore, the cost basis recorded in the buyer's accounting records to recognize this purchase is $116,396.
