Jenny has a $82,500 basis in her 50 percent partnership interest in the JM Partnership before receiving any distributions. This year JM makes a proportionate operating distribution to Jenny of a parcel of land with an $110,000 fair value and a $89,700 basis to JM. The land is encumbered with a $42,850 mortgage (JM's only liability). What is Jenny's basis in the land and her remaining basis in JM after the distribution

Answer:

$89,700 land basis, $14,225 JM basis.

Explanation:

Calculation to determine Jenny's basis in the land and her remaining basis in JM after the distribution

Based on the information given her basis in the land equal to the amount of $89,700 while are remaining basis in JM is the amount of $14,225, Calculated as:

Predistribution basis in JM $82,500

Add deemed contribution $21,425

(50%*$42,850)

Less: basis allocated to land ($89,700)

Remaining basis in JM $14,225

Therefore her basis in the land and her remaining basis in JM after the distribution are:

$89,700 land basis, $14,225 JM basis.

It takes courage to kill a project, but sometimes you know it has to be done. Some common symptoms of a failing project are ill-defined initial requirements, constant changes in scope, excessive changes in resources and personnel, and extreme stress/tension over anticipated changes. Yet, a project may have followed the "book" and done everything right, but still need to be terminated. This was the case with a project in the U.K. where the client was highly committed to the project, contributing time, resources, and prompt decisions. The scope was clear, completion criteria agreed upon, the budget and timeframe acceptable to all. Early on, however, an unavoidable scope change had to be made, requiring a 20 percent increase in time and a 10 percent increase in cost, agreed to by the client. As the project approached the end of the fi rst phase, it was clear that the quality and schedule were both deteriorating, as indicated in progress reports to both the client and senior management. A quick review showed that the results were not going to be acceptable. With the agreement of the PM, an outside Expert was called in to review the effort to date and make a recommendation. Then a joint meeting was held with the Expert, the PM, the Program Manager, and the primary contractor where it was decided that the best thing to do was to work together to complete phase one and then terminate the project, with a clean handover to another team to tackle phase two. Although disappointing to everyone, the close and frequent communications of both progress and concerns throughout the project with upper management and the client, offered in timely, digestible amounts, reduced their expectations and protected the client from a surprise at the end. Honest, consistent communication throughout the project life cycle resulted in improved trust, integrity, and confi dence in the vendor and their team.

Required:
a. What are your thoughts about doing everything right and the project still failing?
b. Does the admonition "Never surprise the boss!" now make more sense? Why?
c. Do you think the scope change at the beginning was the problem here, or was there going to be a problem anyway?
