Explanation of Solution

Assets:

These are the resources owned and controlled by business and used to produce benefits for the company. Assets are classified on the balance sheet as current assets, non-current assets, property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets.

Capital:

The term capital refers to any financial resources owned by the business to be used for its growth and expansion in the near future. A company’s capital includes investments, stocks, and other assets that are able to generate revenue in the near future.

Option (e): Building, $250,000; Stokely Capital, $200,000 is the correct answer.

  • The amount invested by Partner S in the building is $250,000.
  • Calculate the amount of S’ capital:

  S's Capital account=(Market value of the buildingLiabilities)=($250,000$50,000)=$200,000

Thus, the amount of building is $250,000 and S’s capital is $200,000.

As per the above explanation, option (a), (b), (c) and (d) are incorrect answer. Hence, option (e) is the correct answer.

Therefore, option (e) Building, $250,000; Stokely Capital, $200,000 is the correct answer.
