Question

Zelda owns a 60 percent general interest in YZ Partnership. At the beginning of 2018, the adjusted basis in her YZ interest was $95,000. For 2018, YZ generated a $210,000 business loss, earned $14,600 dividend and interest income on its investments, and recognized a $6,200 capital gain. YZ made no distributions to its partners and had no debt.a. Compute Zelda’s adjusted basis in her YZ interest before loss deduction in 2018.
b. Compute Zelda’s adjusted basis in her YZ interest at the end of 2018.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Total loss the company did in was 210,000

Amount of loss going to Zelda's head would be

= (210,000) * 60%

= 126,000

Earnings share for Zelda in 2018

14,600 * 60% = 8760

6,200 * 60% = 3720

And 95,000

Zelda’s adjusted basis in her YZ interest before loss deduction  in 2018 would be

= 95,000 + 8760 + 3720

= 107,480.

Zelda’s adjusted basis in her YZ interest at the end of 2018 after loss deduction would be zero or nill
