    c. $334,650.

    Explanation:

    The computation of the capitalized cost of the land is shown below:

    = Purchase value of land for building + demolished value of old building + cost of title insurance + attorney fees + property taxes - scrap value from the building

    = $320,000 + $12,000 + $900 + $500 + 2,750 - $1,500

    = $334,650

    The property taxes would be

    = Property taxes paid - covered amount

    = $3,000 - $250

    = $2,750
