Inventory- basis to the partnership $12,000, FMV $28,000
Land- basis to the partnership $20,000, FMV $42,000

Total partner's capital accounts- at basis $92,000, at FMV $140,000
Sylvie was a 50% partner in SYZ until she sold her entire interest in the partnership for $70,000 cash when her outside basis in her partnership interest was $50,000.
