At the time of the transfer there was $20,000 in real estate taxes payable. Ira contributed $1,000,000 cash and received a 50% interest in capital, profits and losses. The land was subdivided into 40 lots priced at $75,000 each. In year 1 the partnership had cash disbursements as follows: $20,000 for the accrued real estate taxes, $800,000 for land development, $140,000 for advertising, and $20,000 for the accrued taxes.
