Answer:
1.
Amount to be reported for land
= purchase price of land + legal fees for contract to purchase the land
= 600,000 + 20,000
= 620,000.
Hence, option (2) 620,000 is correct.
2.
Amount to be reported for building
= construction cost of new building + Architect fees + Demolition of old building - scrap value of old building
= 3,500,000 + 80,000 + 50,000 - 30,000
= 3,600,000.
Hence, option (2) 3,600,000 is correct.
