Answer:

$7,000

Explanation:

Marvel's basis after the distribution = $25,000 (original basis) - $4,000 (cash) - $6,000 (inventory basis) - $8,000 (land basis) = $7,000

To determine Marvel's basis, we must use the cost basis of the inventory, not the fair market value, as well as the basis of the land that he received.
