Nash Enterprises purchased a delivery truck on January 1, 2020, at a cost of $25,500. The truck has a useful life of 7 years with an estimated salvage value of $6,180. The straight-line method is used for book purposes. For tax purposes, the truck, having an MACRS class life of 7 years, is classified as 5-year property; the optional MACRS tax rate tables are used to compute depreciation. In addition, assume that for 2020 and 2021 the company has revenues of $218,000 and operating expenses (excluding depreciation) of $141,700.
