David’s basis in the Jimsoo Partnership is $62,000. In a proportionate liquidating distribution, David receives cash of $8,800 and two capital assets:

(1) Land A with a fair market value of $23,600 and a basis to Jimsoo of $18,700, and
(2) Land B with a fair market value of $11,350 and a basis to Jimsoo of $18,700. Jimsoo has no liabilities.

If the two parcels of land had been inventory to Jimsoo, what are the tax consequences to David (amount and character of gain or loss)?
