a.Inventory is considered "hot" for purposes of a sale of partnership interests.b.Yes,the inventory is also considered "hot" for distribution purposes.c.If BPA distributes the land to Brooke,the distribution would be a disproportionate distribution because Brooke would receive more than her share of the cold assets.Brooke would be treated as having sold her share of hot assets to BPA in exchange for cold assets.The deemed sale would generate ordinary income to Brooke.ยง751(a)includes unrealized receivables and inventory items as hot assets for purposes of a sale of partnership interest.However,for distributions,ยง751(b)defines hot assets as substantially appreciated inventory and unrealized receivables.BPA's inventory is considered substantially appreciated because its fair market value exceeds its basis by more than 120 percent.
