    The answer is: C) $291,200

    Explanation:

    The appraiser determined that the total value for both the land and building was $720,000. The land was given a $320,000 value which represents 44% of the total value. The building was given a $400,000 value which represents 56% of the total value. I rounded up the percentages.

    If the cost of the property was $520,000, then the cost of the land will be $228,800 ( = $520,000 x 44%) and the cost of the building will be $291,200 ( = $520,000 x 56%).
