Answer:
$140,000
Explanation:
Sam corporation purchased a plot of land for $100,000
The cost to raze a building on the property is $50,000
Sam received $10,000 from the sale of scrap materials
$800,000 was spent by Sam to build a new plant in the site
The excavation costs was $30,000
Therefore, the amount that Samm should capitalize in its land account can be calculated as follows
= cost of land+ cost to raze a building on the property - sale of scrape materials
= $100,000 + $50,000 - $10,000
= $150,000-$10,000
= $140,000
Hence Samm should capitalize $140,000 in its land account.
