Explanation / Answer

there is no increase in current liabilities in last 2 years and long term liabilities are also the same. M Gauranteed the Long term but it will not affect the m's basis.

there is loss on partnership in the year 20X1 = $ 40,000

M's Shares in loss = 10% of $ 40,000 = $ 4,000

M's Basis at the end of the 20X1 = Opening Basis - loss of the year

M's Basis at the end of the 20X1 = $ 10,000 - $ 4,000

M's Basis at the end of the 20X1 = $ 6,000

Answer = Option A = $ 6,000
