    Correct option is D.

    $10,000 capital loss; $20,000 ordinary income.

    Explanation:

    Samantha's share of unrealized receivables is $20,000 ($60,000 unrealized receivables * 1/3 interest). Susan will recognize $20,000 of ordinary income and a $10,000 capital gain determined as the difference between the total gain of $30,000 and the ordinary income of $20,000.
