    The cost of the building recorded by Reid Co. is $100,000

    Explanation:

    Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) all acquisition of a fixed asset should be recorded at the cost in which it was purchased, that because the historical cost method is used. Therefore the land should be recorded in the accounting records of The Reid Co. at its purchase value ($100,000).
