Jeordie and Kendis created the JK Partnership by contributing $100,000 each. The $200,000 cash was used by the partnership to acquire a depreciable asset. The partnership agreement provides that the partners' capital accounts will be maintained in accordance with Reg. § 1.704-1(b) (the "economic effect" Regulations) and that any partner with a deficit capital account will be required to restore that capital account when the partner's interest is liquidated. The partnership agreement provides that MACRS will be allocated 20% to Jeordie and 80% to Kendis. All other items of partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit will be allocated equally between the partners. In the first year, MACRS is $40,000 and no other operating transactions occur. The property is sold at the end of the year for $160,000 and the partnership is liquidated immediately thereafter.
To satisfy the economic effect test, how much of the $160,000 cash (from the sale) is allocated each to Jeordie and Kendis?
