$140,000

Explanation:

Sam corporation purchased a plot of land for $100,000

The cost to raze a building on the property is $50,000

Sam received $10,000 from the sale of scrap materials

$800,000 was spent by Sam to build a new plant in the site

The excavation costs was $30,000

Therefore, the amount that Samm should capitalize in its land account can be calculated as follows

= cost of land+ cost to raze a building on the property - sale of scrape materials

= $100,000 + $50,000 - $10,000

= $150,000-$10,000

= $140,000

Hence Samm should capitalize $140,000 in its land account.
