Jamie purchased $100,000 of new office furniture for her business in June of the current year. Jamie understands that if she elects to use ADS to compute her regular income tax, there will be no difference between the cost recovery for computing the regular income tax and the AMT. Jamie wants to know the regular income tax cost, after three years, of using ADS rather than MACRS.

Assume that Jamie does not elect 179 limited expensing and that her combined state and Federal income marginal tax rate is 32%. She does not claim any available additional first-year depreciation.

Assume a 6% discount rate. The present value factors for a 6% discount rate are as follows:

Year	PV Factor at 6%
1	1.0000
2	0.9434
3	0.8900
4	0.8396
5	0.7921
6	0.7473
7	0.7050
8	0.6651

If required, round interim computations to two decimal places and use rounded values in subsequent computations. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar.
