Their basis will be 90,000 for Mr Castanza

and 60,000 for Ned

Also Ned will recognize a capital gain for 70,000 when performing the transfer of the property. As his adjusted basis is 30,000 while the property value is 100,000

Explanation:

Mr Castanza

90,000 = 60%

Ned

100,000 - 40,000 = 60,000 = 40%

Total capital

90,000 + 60,000 = 150,000 = 100%

Check for difference:

90,000/150,000 x 60% = 90,000

60,000/150,000 x 40% = 60,000

Their basis will be 90,000 for Mr Castanza

and 60,000 for Ned

Also Ned will recognize a capital gain for 70,000 when performing the transfer of the property. As his adjustedbasis is 30,000 while the property value is 100,000
