    The correct option is D,$42,000

    Explanation:

    The balance on Maxwell capital account=market value of building contributed less the mortgage on the building

    market value of the building is $89,000

    Mortgage on the building is $47,000

    balance on Maxwell capital account=$89,000-$47,000

    balance on Maxwell capital account=$42000

    The correct option is D.

    Care must taken so that one does include the cash of $38,000 contributed by Smart in Maxwell's capital account balance calculation, otherwise one would have concluded that option E,$80,000 ($42,000+$38,000)
