Answer 1

Answer:

A) $25,000.

Explanation:

Marina's adjusted basis for her partnership interest at the end of the year = $20,000 (Marina's cash contribution) + $5,000 (Marina's share in the partnership's net taxable income) - $8,000 (distributions received by Marina) + $8,000 (Marina's share in the partnership's recourse liabilities) = $25,000
