    Land: Dr cash 236250, CR sale tax payable 11250, Cr Land

    I think your entry is correct

    Lets say you are having loss of 100000

    JAN 3rd 2012 CASH DR 236250
    Loss on SALE - Land DR 100000
    SALES TAX CR 11250
    SALES - Land CR 325000

    Now I don't know what's the cost price of the land... How much Yong acquire the land for to calculate P/L
