Answer 1

mack tax basis in prairee on 31 december = 307000

correct option is a. $307,000

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

tax basis = $320,000

net business income = $152,000

services rendered = $4,000

distribution = $50,000

solution

we know allocated income is here

allocated income = net business income - guaranteed payment

allocated income = 152000 - 4000

allocated income = 148000

so

mack share of net income is 25 % of allocated income

mack share of net income = 37000

so

mack tax basis in prairee on 31 december = 320000 + 37000 - 50000

mack tax basis in prairee on 31 december = 307000
