Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the partners basis is given below:

a. Lee basis

= ($15,000) - ($10,000 ÷ 4 × 3)

= $7,500

b. Brad basis

= $16,000 + (10,000 × 25%)

= $18,500

c. Rick basis is

= $15,000 + ($10,000 × 50%)

= $20,000

In this way each partners basis should represent their interest in the partnership

The same is to be considered
