    c. $24,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of sale by partnership is shown below:-

    The pre-contribution gain allocated to Tina = Fair market value - Adjusted basis

    = $80,000 - $60,000

    = $20,000

    Gain on sales = Partnership to an unrelated third party - Fair market value

    = $90,000 - $80,000

    = $10,000

    Tina partnership interest is 40 % of $10,000

    = $4,000

    Sale by partnership = pre-contribution gain + Tina partnership

    = $20,000 + $4,000

    = $24,000

    Therefore for computing the sale by partnership we simply applied the above formula.
