The amount that should be recorded in Sandy's capital account is $42,000.

Accounting regulations require us to record assets according to the Fair value (in this case, the Building's fair value is $42,000).

This requirement is placed so the portfolio reflected the Asset's true economic value after considering the situation in the market. (if the situation in the market changed, the accountant could creat adjustment in the Asset's value)
