a. What is Linda’s total optional basis adjustment?
Â
Â
= $400,000 - $300,000 = $100,000
Â
Â
b. If JILL Partnership sells the land for its $325,000 FMV immediately after Linda purchases her interest, how much gain or loss will the partnership recognize?
Â
Â
= 325,000 – 225,000 = 100,000
Â
Â
= 100,000 – 25,000 = 75,000 Profit
Â
Â
c. How much gain will Linda report as a result of the sale?
Â
Â
= 325,000 – 225,000 = 100,000 Profit
