Question:
Assume the following. Pescara Company purchased a parcel of land on January 1, 2012, for $600,000. It constructed a building on the land at a cost of $3,000,000. The building was occupied on January 1, 2015, and is expected to have a useful life of 40 years and an estimated salvage value of $1,000,000.
As of December 31, 2016, and 2017, the fair value of the land had not been formally revalued because the real estate market had not changed significantly. Due to a jump in real estate prices, during 2018 the value of the land had increased to $650,000, and the fair value of the building was $3,000,000.

The land and the building were reevaluated by the company in 2018.
