Explanation:
In order to calculate Daniel's basis in his partnership interest, first we have to calculate daniel share of the partnership liabilities.
According to the details, Daniel acquires a 30% interest in the PPZ Partnership from Paolo, and The PPZ Partnership has borrowed $14,000 of recourse liabilities as of the date Daniel bought the interest, hence
daniel share of the partnership liabilities = 14,000 * 30% = $4,200
Hence, Daniel's basis in his partnership interest= 43,000 + 4,200 = $47,200
