Answer:

c. $84,300.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

= Purchase cost of land + commission incurred + property taxes + title insurance

= $75,000 + $4,500 + $4,000 + $800

= $84,300

We simply added that costs which are related to the land i.e purchase cost, commission , property taxes ,and title insurance. The $1,000 cost should not be considered.
