On January 2, 2007, Brock Corporation purchased a tract of land (site number 101) with a building for $600,000. Additionally, Brock paid a real estate broker’s commission of $36,000, legal fees of $6,000, and title guarantee insurance of $18,000. The closing statement indicated that the land value was $500,000 and the building value was $100,000. Shortly after acquisition, the building was razed at a cost of $75,000.
Brock entered into a $3,000,000 fixed-price contract with Barnett Builders, Inc. on March 2, 2007 for the construction of an office building on land site number 101. The building was completed and occupied on September 30, 2008. Additional construction costs were incurred as follows:

Plans, specifications, and blueprints $12,000
Architects’ fees for design and supervision 95,000

For the period January 1 to September 30, 2008 2,300,000
