    Option (B) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Purchase price of the land = $620,000

    Sale of salvaged parts already on land = $20,000

    Demolition of the old building = $20,000

    Ground-breaking ceremony (food and supplies) = $2,800

    Land preparation and leveling = $7,000

    Cost of land:

    = Purchase price - Salvage + Demolition cost + Land preparation

    = $620,000 - $20,000 + $20,000 + $7,000

    = $627,000
