Partnership Basis

Remy O$$Neill$,$ Drew O$$Riley$,$ and Megan O$.$ Ferguson formed the WeeBee JAMing Partnership at the beginning of the current year, Year $5.$ Remy and Drew contributed cash and Megan transferred property she had purchased three years ago, which was encumbered with a nonrecourse mortgage for which no one was personally liable. The members plan to use the land and cash to begin a wholesale fruit tree nursery. All three members agree to split profits and losses equally. At the end of the first year, WeeBee JAMing had made a $$15,000$ principal payment on the mortgage. None of the members have passive income from other sources.
