Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
To calculate the present value of the ten years' payments, we need to use the formula for the present value of an annuity:
PV = PMT x (1 - 1 / (1+r)^n) / r
where PV is the present value, PMT is the payment amount, r is the interest rate, and n is the number of periods.

In this case, PMT = $10,000, r = 10%, and n = 10. Plugging in the values, we get:
PV = $10,000 x (1 - 1 / (1+0.1)^10) / 0.1
PV = $65,534.60

Therefore, the total cost of the land is:
$10,000 + $65,534.60 = $75,534.60

So the closest answer choice is D: $71,446. Since the question asks for the cost of the land reported on the balance sheet, we would round the answer to the nearest dollar: $71,447.
