Explanation / Answer

Solution:-

= 30,750 * 17.49%

=$5,378.175

= 70,000 * 11.52%

= $8,064

= 58,000 * 11.52%

= $6,681.6

= 6,681.6 + 8,064 + 5,378.175

= $20,123.335

= 589,000 * 33.33%

= $196,313.7

= 196,313.7 + $20,123.335

= $216,437.03

= $216,437

Initial cost 2018 MACRS Depreciation Amount Furniture $30,750 17.49%

= 30,750 * 17.49%

=$5,378.175

Equipment $70,000 11.52%

= 70,000 * 11.52%

= $8,064

Machinery $58,000 11.52%

= 58,000 * 11.52%

= $6,681.6

Total MACRS depreciation

= 6,681.6 + 8,064 + 5,378.175

= $20,123.335

New tools $589,000 33.33%

= 589,000 * 33.33%

= $196,313.7

Cost recovery deduction for 2018

= 196,313.7 + $20,123.335

= $216,437.03

= $216,437
