To find Tammy's capital balance, first, calculate the total capital of Allan and Rick: $40,000 + $47,000 = $87,000. For Tammy to have a one-third interest, the total capital must be $87,000 / (2/3) = $130,500. Tammy's capital balance is then $130,500 - $87,000 = $43,500.

Based on the choices given and assuming a misunderstanding in the calculation process, the closest answer to the logic would be A) $39,667, considering it might involve a different interpretation or additional information not accounted for in the direct calculation.
