Answer:

$17,000

Explanation:

The partnership takes on/out  the basis of contributed/ distributed property; cash is always consider basis as its face value.

The fair market value of property distributed is used to consider contributor’s gain/ loss only.

The basis in the partnership after distribution = current basis in partnership – cash distributed – basis of any other distribution

Thus Bryon’s basis in the partnership after the distribution = $34,000 - $8,000 = $17,000
