Answer:

The correct answer is $98,700.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

We can calculate the cost of land by using following formula:

Cost of land = Cash paid + Demolished cost - Salvage sold + Attorney fees + Broker's fees

By putting the value, we get

Cost of land = $85,000 + $9,200 - $1,900 + $1,400 + $5,000

= $98,700

(Note = Architect fee and parking lot amount comes under cost of building)
