Answer 1

Answer:

$63,500

Explanation:

Calculation to determine Jerry's adjusted basis in his partnership interest at the end of the year

Using this formula

Partnership interest adjusted basis =Partnership interest+Cash contribution+Long-term capital gain+Qualified dividends -Reduction in partnership debt -Non-deductible expenses-Reported an ordinary loss

Let plug in the formula

Partnership interest adjusted basis=$42,000+ $28,000 + $4,800 + $3,800 - $5,800 - $2,300 - $7,000

Partnership interest adjusted basis = $63,500

Therefore Jerry's adjusted basis in his partnership interest at the end of the year will be $63,500
