Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Roe's long-term capital gain is calculated by subtracting his adjusted basis (including his distributive share of partnership income) from the sale price. The correct calculation is $30,000 (sale price) - ($7,500 (initial basis) + $22,500 (distributive share)) = $0, not $22,500.
