Calculate Elaine's current basis in her partnership interest. $fill in the blank 1 1,000

Answer 1

$31,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine Elaine's current basis in her partnership interest

Using this formula

Elaine's current basis= Value of original basis + (interest purchased - Cash received) + Tax exempt interest

Let plug in the formula

Elaine's current basis= $40,000 + ($70,000 - $80,000) + $1,000

Elaine's current basis= $40,000 - $10,000 + $1,000

Elaine's current basis= $31,000

Therefore Elaine's current basis in her partnership interest is $31,000
