Answer 1

Answer:

$94,000

Explanation:

Henry Jones contributed a cash of $53,300 to the partnership

The equipment had a book value of $25,500 and a market value of $32,900

The inventory had a book value of $51,900 and a market value of $16,000

The partnership assumed a note payable of $14,500 that was owed by Henry

Therefore, the amount that should be recorded in Henry's capital can be calculated as follows

= $53,300+$39,200+$16,000-$14,500

= $108,500-$14,500

= $94,000

Hence $94,000 should be recorded in Henry's capital account
