    c. - 93,700 / / 0

    Explanation:

    As it lacks commercial substance neither Horton nor the other parti will recognize gain/loss on the trade.

    Horton will recognize the new land for the value traded without a gain/loss entry:

    Land 93,700 (88,400 + 5,300 cash) debit

    Cash 5,300 credit

    Land 88,400 credit

    --to record trade of land without commercial subtance--
