Explanation / Answer

In current distribution only gain is recognised by the partners. Gain means when cash received is more than partners basis. In the given case partners basis is 9000each. On received of cash 10000 dawn gaining 1000(10000-9000). So dawn will recognise the gain and Jack receiving 8000. He is having loss of 1000(9000-8000). The loss would not be recognised.

In case of liquidating distribution both gain and loss is recognised. So dawn will recognise 1000 gain and Jack will recognise 1000 loss.
