Question

Lakyra Garth · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The land was ultimately purchased for $115,000, which is the agreed upon price between White Repair Service and the seller. This is the value that should be recorded in the company's records. The fact that the land was assessed at a lower value for property tax purposes does not impact the purchase price, nor does the subsequent offer of $150,000 by a national retail chain.
