Z is a 30% partner who works for the EZ partnership. This partnership records:
Gross profit $300,000
Guaranteed salary to Z $30,000
Operating expenses $214,000
Z received the salary and withdrew an additional $12,000 during this year. Z's $27,000 at the beginning of the year. Determine Z's basis at year-end,
A. $31,800, B. $42,000, C, $43,800, D. $214,000
Calculation of profits :-
Gross profit - (guaranteed salary + operating expenses)
= $300000 - ($30000 + $214000)
= $300000 - ($244000)
= $56000
Profits attributable to Z is 30%
= $56000 × 30%
= $16800.
Profit attributable to Z is = $16800.
Z's basis at year end =
= opening basis of year + profits attributable in year
= $27000 + $16800
= $43800
The Z's basis at year end = $43800
