Expert Solution

A Minimum Gain Chargeback provision is required as a matter of law to be included in partnership agreements in order for non-recourse deductions to be allocated to the partners in any manner other than strictly according to the partners’ overall percentage capital interests in the partnership.

A partnership’s minimum gain is generally equal to the excess of partnership’s non-recourse liabilities over the adjusted tax basis of the property securing the debt.

In the given case machine’s Adjusted basis (5,000) is more than the non-recourse liability (3,000) attached to it. So, there is no minimum in case of machine and there is a loss of 2,000.

In case of building the non-recourse liability (90,000) attached to it is more than the Adjusted basis (82,000) so there is a minimum gain of 8,000.

Finally, the partnership’s minimum gain = 8,000 – 2,000(loss in case of machinery) = 6,000.

Option C is the right answer.
