Zakaat on land purchased with the intention of resale

Q: A person purchased land abroad with the intention to sell and make profit 8 years ago. The price of this land has risen, thought is stagnant at present. However due to a decline in foreign investors in the country the market for foreign companies purchasing land from individuals is at a standstill. Therefore being unable to sell this land for the foreseeable future would one be required to pay zakaat on this? If so, at what price? i.e market or purchase price?

Which value will be considered for gold and silver jewellery?

Q: The general "market" for an ordinary person wishing to sell his jewellery in our times would be to a jeweler or a gold purchaser. The value thus given by them constitutes the market value. The established practice of both these dealers in evaluating an item to be purchased by them is to consider the gold content present in the jewellery only. They ignore any value that may exist due to the workmanship present in that gold or silver jewellery.

Question: Will this value given by the jeweller or gold purchaser (which is based on gold content only) be the market value considered for zakaat purposes?
