Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is $50,000.

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Nova contributed land of value = $200,000

Nova contributed land of Basis= $50,000

Nova contributed cash = $100,000

Oscar Contributed cash = $300,000

So, we can analyze the Padgett's tax basis in the land by using following method:

As we know Nova contributed land of Basis is the only tax basis in the land for Padgett's.

So, Padgett’s tax basis in the land = Nova contributed land of Basis

Padgett’s tax basis in the land = $50,000.
