This problem has been solved! See the answer On January 1, Helmut pays $2,000 for a 10% capital, profits, and loss interest in a partnership, which has recourse liabilities of $20,000. The partners share economic risk of loss from recourse liabilities in the same way they share partnership losses. In the same year, the partnership incurs losses of $6,000 and the recourse liabilities increase by $5,000. Helmut and the partnership use a calendar tax year-end. Helmut's basis at year-end is .

Helmut's basis at year-end is $3,900.

Explanation:

Beginning Basis  = $2,000

Add: January 1 Liabilities at the rate of 10% = $20,000 × 10% = $2,000

Add: Increase in liabilities by the rate of 10% = $5,000 × 10% = $500

Less: Loss incurred at the rate of  10%  = ($6,000 × 10%) = $600

Basis at the end of the year = $2,000 + $2,000 + $500 - $600

Basis at the end of the year = $3,900.
