Answer:

(a) 5000 (b)25000 (c)40000

Explanation:

Solution

(a)The tax on ordinary income share = 20000*25% = 5000

(b)  The total  distribution of cash from partnership = 30000

So,

Less: Tax on above = 5000 , and after tax cash flow = 25000

(c)  Now,

The basis at beginning of year = 50000

Thus,

Add: Ordinary Income = 20000  and the  adjusted basis = 70000

so,

Less: cash distribution = 30000

The End of the year basis = (70000-30000)

= 40000
