1. Bennett Berlin's Walls and Flooring sells construction materials. On 1/1/2018, Berlin uses cash to purchase a fork lift for $50,000. The forklift comes from China so Berlin has to pay a 20% tariff, which is whack but also an actual thing that's happening right now. Berlin estimates no salvage value at the end of the fork lift's 15 year expected life. Use Straight-Line method.
