Expert Solution

a) Any residential rental property placed in service after 1986 is depreciated using the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), an accounting technique that spreads costs (and depreciation deductions) over 27.5 years, the amount of time the IRS considers to be the “useful life” of a rental property.

Depreciation Percentage is according to the IRS Residential Rental Property GDS table.

Book Value = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation

Year	Depreciation Percentage	Depreciation	Accumulated Depreciation	Book Value
August 2013	1.364%	13640	13640	986360
2014	3.636%	36360	50000	950000
2015	3.636%	36360	86360	913640
2016	3.636%	36360	122720	877280
May 2017	1.666%	16660	139380	860620

b) Difference between Book value and Sales price = Book Value - Sales Price = 860,620 - 850,000 = $10,620

c) There is no capital gain or loss. There is an ordinary income loss of $10,620, which will reduce the federal income taxes by = 0.4*10620 = $4,248

Tax Credit = $4,248

d) Here, Income = Selling Price - Book value = $89,380

He will not get any tax credit. But he will pay tax = 89380*0.4 = $ 35,752
