Answer: If the farm business distributes $100,000 to the partners proportionately, Bob and Sally will only receive $1,000 and their children will receive $99,000

Explanation:

The information gotten from the passage said Bob and Sally Jones had a Family Limited Partnership and then transferred their farm to the partnership for a 1 percent general partner interest and a 99 percent limited partner interests. They retain the one percent general partner interest while giving the limited partner interests to their three children.

If $100,000 is distributed, since eBob and Sally owns 1 percent, they will get 1% of $100,000 which is (1/100 * 100000) = $1000 while the remaining $99,000 goes to their children.
