Problem 10 [PPE, TTD-inverted] ABC's tax accounting methods and GAAP accounting methods are the same except for the method used to account for depreciation expense on property and equipment. Per GAAP, ABC recognizes depreciation expense over the economic life of the asset using the straight-line method. Per tax rules, ABC recognizes depreciation expense using the MACRS system.
