On November 23, Terrier Repair Service extended an offer of $50,000 for land that had been priced for sale at $58,500. On December 2, Terrier Repair Service accepted the seller’s counteroffer of $54,000. On December 27, the land was assessed at a value of $60,000 for property tax purposes. On April 1, Terrier Repair Service was offered $65,000 for the land by a national retail chain. At what value should the land be recorded in Terrier Repair Service’s records?

Explanation
The land should be recorded at a value of $54,000 in Terrier Repair Service's records. This is because on December 2, they accepted the seller's counteroffer of $54,000, which is the agreed-upon price for the land. The fact that the land was assessed at a higher value of $60,000 for property tax purposes and that they received a later offer of $65,000 from a retail chain does not impact the value at which it should be recorded in their records.
