Correct answer is E

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adjusted basis in partnership = $40,000

Cash received = $55,000

Balance = (55000 – 40000) = $15,000 Gain

Land received = $10,000

Includable income in each partner's gross income = $15,000 - $10,000 = $5,000
