Masco Corporation performs year-end planning in November of each year before its calendar year ends in December. Masco's Chief Financial Officer Patricia Maloney meets with it's President Al Hoyt to review her projections. The Corporation has never used robotic equipment before and Patricia assumed an accelerated method of depreciation because of the rapidly changing technology in robotic equipment. The Corporation normally uses straight-line depreciation for its production equipment. A explains to Patricia that it is important for the Corporation to show Pre-tax Financial Income of at least $7,000,000 because A receives a $1,000,000 bonus if Pre-tax Financial Income, before bonus, reaches $7,000,000. Furthermore, A does not want the Corporation to pay more than $1,200,000 in income taxes. Address what Patricia can do within the confines of US GAAP to accomondate AJ's wishes.
