2 160 Chapter 7 Accounting Periods and Methods and Depreciation 5. Land is not allowed to be depreciated. It is held on the taxpayer s books at its cost basis. Land is considered to be an asset that is not subject to obsolescence. (Section 7.3) 6., the tax law allows a taxpayer to take tax depreciation on a residential rental building no matter what happens to its value in the market. Even if the value of the building doubles or triples, the depreciation is allowed and remains the same regardless of fluctuations up and down in value. The term depreciation does not necessarily mean physical deterioration or loss of value of the asset, though this is usually true of the asset. The depreciation of computers, office furniture, automobiles, etc. often follows the decline in value of the assets reasonably well. (Section 7.3 and following sections) 7. a. $5,067 = ($39,080 1,080)/60 months x 8 months. b. $3,908 = $39,080 x 10%. The taxpayer must use the annual percentage rates from the optional straight-line table (Table 3). c. $7,816 = $39,080 x 20% (Table 2). (Section 7.4) 8. Election to expense $ 6,500 Depreciation on automobile: $21,500 x 20% = $4,300, but limited to $3,060 3,060 Total depreciation $ 9,560 For 2007, the automobile is five-year recovery property; however, the depreciation deduction is subject to the annual automobile depreciation expense limitations. (Sections 7.4, 7.5, 7.7) 9. a. $20,762 = ($800,000 x 1.364%) + ($500,000 x 1.97%.) b. $47,268 = ($800,000 x 3.636%) + ($500,000 x 3.636%.) (Section 7.4) 10. a. $2,295 = ($3,060 x 75%); limit is less than MACRS of $5,250 = ($35,000 x 20% x 75%). b. $3,675 = $4,900 x 75%; limit is less than actual of $8,400 = ($35,000 x 75% x 32%). (Sections 7.4, 7.6, 7.7) 11. $540 = ($3,000 x 20%) x (80% + 10%). The total depreciation on the computer must be divided between the business use, $480, (80%/90% x $540); and the investment use, $60, (10%/90% x $540). (Sections 7.4, 7.6) 12. See Form 4562 on pages 163 and 164. (Sections 7.4, 7.6, 7.7) 13. a. 5 years b. 7 years c. 5 years d years e. 39 years f. life, no depreciation allowed. (Section 7.4) 14. When a taxpayer acquires more than 40% of its MACRS depreciable property (other than real estate) during the last quarter of the year, the taxpayer must use the mid-quarter convention in calculating depreciation rather than the mid-year convention. There are separate MACRS percentage tables for the mid-quarter depreciation convention. This treatment requires all assets purchased in any quarter of the year to be treated as purchased at the middle of that quarter. (Section 7.4)

3 Solutions for Questions and Problems Chapter a % x $200,000 = $4,546 b. 32% x $3,000 = $960 c. 10% x $4,000 = $400 d % x $10,000 = $1,749 (Section 7.4) 16. Tom should expense the machine under the Section 179 election to expense. Under the election to expense he can write off the entire cost of the machine in 2007 and bring his taxable income down to $75,000. If Tom does not elect to expense the machine, he must depreciate it over a life of 7 years, and will get only a small immediate tax benefit for the purchase. (Section 7.5) 17. See the answer to Problem 12. (Sections 7.4, 7.6, 7.7) 18. Even though a car has a 5 year life under MACRS, the depreciation allowed for the car is limited to the amounts allowed under the luxury auto rules. The car is allowed $3,060, $4,900 and $2,850 of depreciation in the first three years and then $1,775 a year thereafter. The car will be fully depreciated in 14 years using this schedule: Year 1 $3,060 Year 2 $4,900 Year 3 $2,850 Years 4-13 $1,775 Year 14 $1,440 Total $30,000 (Section 7.7) 19. a. $85,000 = $40,000 + $45,000 b. $1,889 deductible for $85,000/(15 x 12) x 4 months = $1,889. (Section 7.8) 20. The purchased goodwill and going-concern value should be amortized over 15 years at $300 a month as a Section 197 intangible asset. (Section 7.8) 21. a. 36% = 20% + (80% x 20%) b. 60% = 30% + 30% c. 60% = 30% + 30% d. $0 Brian owns more than 50% of JBC Corporation, directly or indirectly. (Section 7.9) 22.
