Answer:

The correct answer is A that is $120,000.

Explanation:

The value of one or single bathroom is computed as:

Value of single bathroom = Category 2 cost - Category 1 cost

= $185,000 - $170,000

= $15,000

The value of the subject property is computed as:

Value of the subject property = Category 3 cost - Value of single bathroom

= $135,000 - $15,000

= $120,000
