Task: Please help me in solving the problem with the explanations and details.
1) Your company purchased a piece of land five years ago for $150,000 and subsequently added $175,000 in improvements. The current book value of the property is $225,000. There are two options for future use of the land: 1) the land can be sold today for $375,000 after-tax; or 2) your company can destroy the past improvements and build a factory on the land. In consideration of the factory project, what amount (if any) should the land be valued at for purposes of the capital budgeting analysis? Explain your rationale.
