d) $1,754,211

Explanation:

The computation of the proceeds for the sale of the land is shown below:

= Interest expense * PVIFA for 10 years at 10% + Face value * PVIF for 10 years at 10%

= $160,000 * 6.14457 + $2,000,000 * 0.38554

= $983,131.20 + $771,080

= $1,754,211

The interest expense would be

= $2,000,000 * 8%

= $160,000

Simply we multiply the interest expense and face value with its present value interest annuity factor and present value interest factor so that the accurate amount can come.
