    consolidated balance sheet:

    land 525,000

    Explanation:

    The Princeton's land will be valued at book value.

    The Sheffield's land will be valued at market value as when Princeton acquired Sheffield the land was appraised at his market value.

    So 500,000 x 75% = 375,000 land of Sheffield

    Total land:

    Princeton Land 150,000

    Sheffield Land 375,000

    Total 525,000
