Accounting

LeBron, Dennis, and Susan formed the Bar T LLC at the beginning of the current year. LeBron and Dennis each contributed $200,000 and Susan transferred several acres of agricultural land she had purchased two years earlier to the LLC. The land had a tax basis of $50,000 and was appraised at $300,000. The land was also encumbered with a $100,000 nonrecourse mortgage (i.e., qualified nonrecourse financing) for which no one was personally liable. The members plan to use the land and cash to begin a cattle-feeding operation. Susan will work full time operating the business, but LeBron and Dennis will devote less than two days per year to the operation.
All three members agree to split profits and losses equally. At the end of the first year, Bar T had accumulated $40,000 of accounts payable jointly guaranteed by LeBron and Dennis and had made a $9,000 principal payment on the mortgage. None of the members have passive income from other sources or business income from other sources. LeBron and Dennis are married, while Susan is single.
For the first year of operations, the partnership records disclosed the following information:
Sales revenue $ 620,000
Cost of goods sold 380,000
Operating expenses 670,000
Dividends 1,200
Municipal bond interest 300
Salary paid as a guaranteed payment to Susan (not included in expenses)10,000
Cash distributions split equally among the members at year-end 3,000
Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount. Negative amounts should be indicated with a minus sign. Leave no answers blank. Enter zero if applicable.
c. What are Bar T's tax basis and holding period in its land?
