Francesca works full time managing the partnership. Both the partnership and the partners report on a calendar-year basis.

During the current year, the partnership reported the following results from operations:

Net sales $ 715,000
Cost of goods sold 538,000
Operating expenses 200,000
Short-term capital loss 7,000
Tax-exempt interest 7,000
§1231 gain 11,000


On the last day of the year, the partnership distributed $5,300 each to Lance and Francesca.
