    c. $87,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the Arthur's basis in the partnership interest at the end of the year is shown below:

    = His share of partnership liabilities + net operating income share + increased share in liabilities - distributed amount

    = $60,000 + $12,000 + $20,000 - $5,000

    = $87,000

    Net operating income share is

    = $40,000 * 30%

    = $12,000

    We simply applied the above formula
