Answer:

0$

Explanation:

Daniela will not recognize any gain or loss on the distribution. She will just have to reduce the basis of the inventory she receives in complete liquidation of her interest.

No gain or loss shall be recognized to a partnership on a distribution to a partner of property, this also includes money considering the 26 US code 731
