During 2020, William purchases the following capital assets for use in his catering business:

New passenger automobile (September 30)	$54,200
Baking equipment (June 30)	16,260

Assume that William decides to use the election to expense on the baking equipment (and has adequate taxable income to cover the deduction) but not on the automobile (which has a 5-year recovery period), and he also uses the MACRS accelerated method to calculate depreciation but elects out of bonus depreciation. Assume he has adequate taxable income.
