Detailed Answer
Answer (B) is correct. Accordingly, items of property, plant, and equipment (PPE) that meet the recognition criterion are initially measured at cost. The cost includes the purchase price (minus trade discounts and rebates, plus purchase taxes) and the directly attributable costs of bringing the assets to working condition for their intended use. Directly attributable costs include site preparation, installation, initial delivery and handling, architect and equipment fees, costs of removing the assets and restoring the site, etc. Accordingly, the cost of land includes the cost of obtaining the land and readying it for its intended uses, but it is inappropriate to recognize the proceeds related to site preparation immediately in profit or loss. They should be treated as reductions in the price of the land.
