Answer:
C) $40,000 inventory basis, $15,000 JM basis.
Explanation:
JM distributed $80,000 worth of inventory, since Marcella has a 50% partnership interest, then half of the inventory belongs to her, $40,000 (= $80,000 / 2).
Since Marcella also received $10,000 in cash from JM, then her remaining basis in the partnership is:
$65,000 - $40,000 - $10,000 = $15,000
