Further, the cost of removal of an old building (which was not in a usable condition) on that land was $10,000. In November of Year XXX3, an appraiser estimated the value of land to be $450,000. A similar lot of land in the same neighborhood sold for $500,000 in December of Year XXX2. At what value should Dale represent the land in the balance sheet to be prepared at the end of Year XXX3?

Land to be reported in the balance sheet at the end of Year XXX3 = 350000+2500+10000= $362500
