    Thomas capital

    Equipment $30,000

    Inventory 25,000

    Cash 45,000

    Total 100,000

    Explanation:

    Equipment : thebook value is $25,000 while the market value is $30,000. the market value of the equipment will be used.

    Inventory : the book value is $50,000 while the market value is $25,000. As a result of obsolescence, the inventory will be value at lower of cost and net realizable value (IAS2). therefore, $25,000 will be recognized for the inventory in the determination of Thomas capital

    Cash: there is no changes in cash contributed.

    Cash contribution by Thomas = $45,000

    Market value of the Inventory amount to = $ 25,000

    Market value of the Equipment = $ 30,000

    Notes payable by Thomas for the purchase of the equipment = $ 20,000

    hence the amount recorded in Thomas account would be = 45000 + 25000 + 30000 + 20000

    = $120,000
