Question
Carey Company buys land for 50,700. On 12/31/21, the land has an appraised value of 1,1000$700
Solution
To determine the amount by which the Land account should be increased in 2021, we need to calculate the difference between the appraised value of the land on 12/31/21 and the initial purchase price on 12/31/20.
The initial purchase price of the land was 51,800.
To find the increase in value, we subtract the initial purchase price from the appraised value: 50,000 = $1,800.
Therefore, the Land account should be increased by $1,800 in 2021.
The correct answer is $1,800.
