    b. $120,800.00

    Explanation:

    Cost of the land $ 600,000/-

    Associated expenses:

    Razing down the shed: $ 5000

    income from scrap: $ 1000

    Total expenses $ 4000

    The total cost of land = 600,000+4000 = $ 604,000

    Tax allocation: land and building $ 500,000

    land allocation will be: 100,000/500,000 x$ 604,000

    =0.2x604,000

    =$120,800.00
