Solution

The cost of the land would be recorded by adding all the costs associated with making the land ready for use. This includes the purchase price of the land, the real estate brokers' commission, and the cost of demolishing the old building.

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

  1. Purchase price of the land: P4,500,000
  2. Real estate brokers' commission: P250,000
  3. Cost of demolishing the old building: P350,000

Add all these costs together:

P4,500,000 (purchase price) + P250,000 (brokers' commission) + P350,000 (demolition cost) = P5,100,000

So, under the cost principle, the cost of the land would be recorded at P5,100,000.
