Answer:

$888,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine What amount should be reported as land

Purchased a tract of land as a factory site $800,000

Add Legal fees for purchase contract ownership $10,000

Add Title guarantee insurance 16,000

Add Cost to raze old building $70,000

Less Proceeds from sale of salvaged materials $8,000

Land $888,000

($800,000 + $10,000 + $16,000 + $70,000 –$8,000)

Therefore The amount that should be reported as land will be $888,000
