    Cost of land = $53,200

    Explanation:

    According to International Accounting Standards (IAS) 16, Property plant and equipment (PPE), the cost of land includes all of the costs necessary to bring and make it ready for the intended use.

    These costs include purchase cost, fees and commission associated with the purchase transaction. Further more, included in the historical cost are the net demolition cost of old structure to prepare the land for use e. g cost of grading

    Net cost here means cost of demolition less any incidental proceed from the old structure.

    = 50,000 + 1,500 + 500 + 1200

    = $53,200
