Answer: $151,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The fair value of the equipment is the amount that was less than the fair value of land by the amount of cash that the equipment owner had to pay to complete the transaction:

Fair value of equipment = Fair value of land - Cash paid by owner of equipment

= 172,000 - 21,000

= $151,000
