The JM Partnership was formed to acquire land and subdivide it as residential housing lots. On March 1, 2015, Jessica contributed land valued at  $600,000
to the partnership, in exchange for a 50% interest in JM. She had purchased the land
in 2007 for $420,000 and held it for investment purposes (capital asset). The partner- ship holds the land as inventory.
On the same date, Matt contributed land valued at $600,000 that he had pur-
chased in 2005 for $720,000. He became a 50% owner. Matt is a real estate devel- oper, but this land was held personally for investment purposes. The partnership holds this land as inventory.
