    Tyson's basis in the distributed inventory = $8,000 and land = $12,000

    Explanation:

    Total basis value of assets received by Tyson = Cash + Inventory + Land

    = $16,000 + $8,000 + $12,000 = $36,000

    For this Tyson's basis of interest in partnership = $24,000

    Thus Tyson's Basis in Inventory = $8,000

    Tyson's basis for Land = $12,000

    Note: the basis is book value and not the market value even in case it is less than book value.

    Tyson's basis in the distributed inventory = $8,000 and land = $12,000
