Answer: $12,900

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that Tom is talking to his friend Bob, who has an interest in Freedom, LLC, about buying his LLC interest. Bob's outside basis in Freedom, LLC, is $7,000 which includes his $1,900 one-fourth share of the LLC's debt. Bob's 704 (b) capital account is $14,000. We are further told that Tom bought Bob's LLC interest for $11,000.

Tom's outside basis be in Freedom, LLC will be the amount that he paid for Bob's LLC interest plus the share of LLC's debt. This will be:

= $11,000 + $1,900

= $12,900
