    C. $50,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the Mabel's capital account after formation of the partnership account is shown below:

    Total contribution by both the partners equals to

    = Mabel contribution + Pierre contribution

    = $25,000 + $50,000

    = $75,000

    Mabel contribution = Total contribution * Mabel share : total share

    = $75,000 * 4 : 10

    = $30,000

    And, the land was sold for $50,000

    So, Mabel share on the sale of land = $50,000 * 4 : 10 = $20,000

    Total amount recorded = $30,000 + $20,000 = $50,000
