    Greene's basis at Seagull is $6,000

    Explanation:

    Greene's basis in Seagull can be calculated using the following equation:

    Greene's basis = basis at the beginning of the year - ordinary loss - cash distributions + interest earned

    Greene's basis = $15,000 - $5,000 - $6,000 + $2,000 = $6,000
