Assume AMP Corporation (calendar year end) has 2017 taxable income of $900,000 for purposes of computing the 179 expense. During 2017, AMP acquired the following assets: (Use MACRS Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, Table 4and Table 5.)

	Placed in
Asset	Service		Basis
Machinery	September 12	$	1,550,000
Computer equipment	February 10		365,000
Office building	April 2		480,000
Total		$	2,395,000

I know a. is 240,000. I can't figure out what part b would be.

What is the maximum total depreciation expense, including 179 expense, that AMP may deduct in 2017 on the assets it placed in service in 2017 assuming no bonus depreciation?
