Answer:

$457,300

Explanation:

FVI purchased a land and warehouse at the cost of $410,000

The following expenditures were incurred

Broker's commission = $21,000

Title insurance= $1,100

Miscellaneous closing costs= $4,200

Demolition of the warehouse= $21,000

Therefore, the amount in which FVI should record as cost of the land can be calculated as follows

=$410,000+$21,000+$1,100+$4,200+$21,000

= $457,300

Hence the amount that FVI should record as the cost of the land is $457,300
