Answer: D. II and IV
Adjusted cost basis is $40,000
Customer has a capital loss of $15,000
Explanation:
Given the following :
basis of partnership = $25,000
Total unused passive loss = $15,000
Amount generated (sales proceed) from sale of partnership interest = $25,000
The adjusted cost basis :
Basis of partnership + unused passive losses
$25,000 + $15,000 = $40,000
Sales proceed accrued from sale of the property = $25,000.
Since adjusted cost basis is greater than proceed generated from sale, then we have a capital loss
$40,000 - $25,000 = $15,000 capital loss
