Expert Solution

If the company elects to 50% depreciation in 2017, then the same rate is applicable for 2018

Therefore, the depreciation would be:

Commercial building: 0.50 x $1000000 = $500000

Machinery: 0.50 x $1000000 = $500000

Machinery: 0.50 x $2270000 = $1135000

Machinery: 0.50 x $3000000 = $1500000

Computer equipment: 0.50 x $500000 = $250000

Automobile: 0.50 x $50000 = $25000

If the company elects not to take 50% depreciation, then it can come under MACRS depreciation.

Accordingly the depreciation rate changes as follows:

Machineries are under 7 year property classification

Computer equipment are under 5 year property classification

Automobile being a 3 year property

Building being 10 year property

Automobile: .3333 x $50000 = $16667

Computer equipment: 0.20 x $500000 = $100000

Machinery: 0.1429 x $1000000 = $142900

Machinery: 0. 1429 x $2270000 = $324383

Machinery: 0. 1429 x $3000000 = $428700

Commercial building: 0.10 x $1000000 = $100000
