Answer:

d. Building $250,000; Fontaine, Capital $175,000

Explanation:

the partnership should record the building at the market value of $250,000 and:

Fontaine capital = market value of the building - mortgage responsibility on the property

                           = $250,000 - $75,000

                           = $175,000
