Barbara's contribution to the partnership includes $50,500 in cash, equipment valued at $80,000, and an automobile valued at $30,000. The total value of her contribution is $50,500 (cash) + $80,000 (equipment) + $30,000 (automobile) = $160,500. However, there is an outstanding note payable of $15,000 on the equipment, which reduces her net contribution to $160,500 - $15,000 = $145,500. This amount is credited to her capital account to reflect her investment in the partnership.
