Answer 1

Answer:

$362,000 building and $231,000 in Fontaine's capital account

Explanation:

Fontaine and Monroe are forming a partnership

Fontaine invests a building that has a market value of $362,000

The partnership assumes responsibility of $131,000 note

Monroe invests $106,000 in both cash and equipment

The market value is $81,000

Therefore, since the building has a market value of $362,000 then, the amount that is recorded for the building is $362,000

The amount recorded for Fontaine's capital account can be calculated as follows

= $362,000-$131,000

= $231,000

Hence the amount recorded in the building and Fontaine's capital account is $362,000 and $231,000 respectively
