Question

Gerald received a one-third capital and profit (loss) interest in XYZ Limited Partnership (LP). In exchange for this interest, Gerald contributed a building with an FMV of $37,000. His adjusted basis in the building was $18,500. In addition, the building was encumbered with a $9,750 nonrecourse mortgage that XYZ LP assumed at the time the property was contributed. What is Gerald's outside basis immediately after his contribution

Answer 1

$12,000

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given situation,the computation of the outside basis is shown below:-

Total Outside basis = Adjusted basis - Non-recourse mortgage + G's share of mortgage

= $18,500 - $9,750 + ($9,750 × 3)

= $18,500 - $9,750 + $3,250

= $12,000

Therefore for computing the total outside basis we simply applied the abovbe formula.
