Laurel contributed equipment worth $200,000, purchased 10 months ago for $250,000 cash and used in her sole proprietorship, to Sand Creek LLC in exchange for a 15 percent profits and capital interest in the LLC. Laurel agreed to guarantee all $15,000 of Sand Greek's accounts payable, but she did not guarantee any portion of the $100,000 nonrecourse mortgage securring Sand Creeks's office building. Other than the accounts payable and mortgage, Sand Creek does not owe any debts to other creditors.
What is Laurel's initial tax basis in her LLC interest?
