1. Sid bought a new $1,500,000 seven-year class asset on August 2, 2020. On December 2, 2020, he purchased $900,000 of used five-year class assets. If Sid elects Sec. 179 and does not take additional first-year depreciation, what is the maximum cost recovery deduction for these purchases for 2020

Respuesta :

Answer:

Total cost recovery deduction = 1251450

Explanation:

Given the seven-year class asset bought by the Sid = $1500000

On 2nd December the five-year class asset bought = $900000

Now we have to find the cost recovery deduction for 2020.

900000/(900000 + 1500000) = 37.5% Thus, use half-year convention and avoid mid quarter

1500000 – 1,000,000 (Sec 179 limit) = 500000

500000 x 14.29% = 71450

900,000 x 20% = 180,000

1,000,000 + 71450 + 180,000

Cost recovery for 7 year asset = 1,071450

Cost recovery 5  year asset = 180000

Total cost recovery deduction = 1251450
