The treasury shares were acquired by Miser at a cost of $40 per share, and on the exchange date the common shares of Miser had a fair market value of $50 per share. Miser received $6,000 for selling scrap when an existing building on the property was removed from the site. Based on these facts, the land should be capitalized at what amount?
