You can only show that value of assets in the books which you have paid for. means half of the value, not full of the value either other owner of the asset is showing in his books or not. what other person is doing in his books never affect your accounting.
Where an person owns fixed assets jointly with others (otherwise than as a partner in a firm), the extent of its share in such assets, and the proportion in the original cost, accumulated depreciation and written down value are stated in the balance sheet.
Alternatively, the pro rata cost of such jointly owned assets is grouped together with similar fully owned assets. Details of such jointly owned assets are indicated separately in the fixed Register
