The Jerry's adjusted basis in his partnership interest at the end of the year is $45,500

Explanation:

The adjusted basis of Jerry in his partnership is shown below:

= Partnership interest - Ordinary loss + long term capital gain + dividend - non deductible expense + cash contribution - share reduction

= $50,000 -$15,000 + $3,000 + $2,000 - $500 + $10,000 -$4,000

= $45,500

The ordinary loss, share reduction, and non deductible expense would decrease the Jerry interest in partnership firm while all other cost would increase his interest. That's why the amount is added and subtracted.

Hence, the Jerry's adjusted basis in his partnership interest at the end of the year is $45,500
