Answer:

Option (C) 160,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Appraisal value = $154,000

Offer price = $172,000

Cash = $40,000

Note payable = $45,000

Mortgage amount = $75,000

Now,

Cost basis recorded in the buyer's accounting records to recognize this purchase will be

=  Cash + Note payable + Mortgage amount

= $40,000 + $45,000 + $75,000

= $160,000

Hence,
