The company does not make the § 179 election. Jayne takes additional first-year depreciation. Determine the total deductions in calculating taxable income related to the machines for 2013. a. $116,143. b. $11,143. c. $22,287. d. $132,858. e. None of the above.
a. $116,143 ,
New machine (ten-year property) on January 15, 2013 :
Additional first-year depreciation [180000 * 50% half year convention] = $90000
MACR depreciation [$90000 * 10%] = $9000
= $99000
Another new machine (seven-year property) on November 5, 2013 :
Additional first-year depreciation [ $30,000 * 50% half year convention] = $15000
MACR depreciation [$15000 * 14.29%] = $2143.5
= $17143.5
Total deductions [$99000 + $17143.5] = $116143
