Problem 8-41 (LO. 2, 3, 9)

Lori, who is single, purchased 5-year class property for $200,000 and 7-year class property for $400,000 on May 20, 2016. Lori expects the taxable income derived from her business (without regard to the amount expensed under 179) to be about $800,000. Lori wants to elect immediate 179 expensing, but she doesn't know which asset she should expense under 179. She does not claim any available additional first-year depreciation.

a. Determine Lori's total deduction if the 179 expense is first taken with respect to the 5-year class asset.

5-year class property
	Immediate expense deduction under 179	$200,000
	Regular MACRS	$0
7-year class property
	Immediate expense deduction under 179	$300,000
	Regular MACRS	$14,290
Total deduction		$514,290

b. Determine Lori's total deduction if the 179 expense is first taken with respect to the 7-year class asset.

7-year class property
	Immediate expense deduction under 179	$400,000
	Regular MACRS	$0
5-year class property
	Immediate expense deduction under 179	$100,000
	Regular MACRS	$20,000
Total deduction		$520,000

Feedback

c. If 179 expense is first allocated to the seven-year class property, the deduction for the year would be $5710 larger.

For parts d. and e. Assume a 6% discount rate The present value factors for a 6% discount rate are as follows: Year 1: 1.000, Year 2: 0.9434; Year 3: 0.8900, Year 4: 0.8396, year 5: 0.7921, Year 6: 0.7473, Year 7: 0.7050, Year 8: 0.6651.

d. Assume that Lori is in the 25% marginal tax bracket and that she uses 179 on the 7-year asset.

The present value of the tax savings from the depreciation deductions for both assets $.

e. Assume that Lori is in the 25% marginal tax bracket and that Lori decides not to use 179 on either asset.

The present value of the tax savings generated by not using the 179 deduction on the 7-year asset $.
