    correct option is b. $159,000

    Explanation:

    given data

    purchase land = $96,000

    offer sale = $172,000

    assessed for tax purposes = $106,000

    recognized purchaser worth = $162,000

    purchased = $159,000

    the price paid for by the purchaser is the amount and that amount is to be recorded in the books

    so that land will record in the purchaser books is $159,000
