    Cost of Land is $104,000, cost of building is $653,000. The total cost is $757,000

    Explanation:

    The cost of the building will include the purchase price of the land and building and every other cost incurred in the process of making the land and building available for use.

    However, every amount realized from the process will also be deducted from the cost of the land and building. To separate the cost of land from the cost of the building, we must identify the cost attributable to each of them

    As such, the recorded cost on land

    = $100,000 + $4,000

    = $104,000

    and cost of building

    = $10,000 + $20,000 + $625,000 - $2,000

    = $653,000
