Explanation / Answer

1. Calculation of Depreciation expense in the first year and second year.

Depreciation Rates (MARCS) rates 3 year recovery = Year 1: 33.33% ; Year 2: 44.45%

Depreciation for first year = $20,000 x 33.33% = $6,666

Depreciation for the recovery year (Half Dep) = $20,000 x 44.45% / 2 = $4,445

Total Depreciation upto the year of disposal = $11,111

Book Value in the year of sale = $20,0000 - $11,111 = $8,889

Sale Value = $12,000

Profit On disposal = $12,000 - 8,889 = $3,111

Since the depreciation expense provided is more than the profit in sale of asset. $3,111 will be the depreciation recapture on the disposal of asset. Correct Answer is A.
