What is Jerry's adjusted basis in his partnership interest at the end of the year

Answer 1

Answer:

$64,500

Explanation:

The basis of a partnership interest is the money plus the adjusted basis of any property the partner contributed. In this case adjusted basis of jerry in his partnership can be calculated as follows

Adjusted basis of Jerry In his Partnership = Partnership interest - Ordinary Loss + Long term Capital gain + Dividend-Non Deductible Expenses + Cash Contribution - Share deduction

Adjusted basis of Jerry In his Partnership = $41,000 - $6,000 + $4,900 + $3,900 - $2,400 + $29,000 - $5,900

Adjusted basis of Jerry In his Partnership = $64,500
