Way Corporation disposed of the following tangible personal property assets in the current year.

Date Date Original
Asset Acquired Sold Convention Basis
Furniture (7-year) 5/12/2014 7/15/2018 HY $ 102,500
Machinery (7-year) 3/23/2015 3/15/2018 MQ 119,500
Delivery truck* (5-year) 9/17/2016 3/13/2018 HY 58,000
Machinery (7-year) 10/11/2017 8/11/2018 MQ 319,400
Computer (5-year) 10/11/2018 12/15/2018 HY 118,000

*Used 100 percent for business.

Assume that the delivery truck is not a luxury auto. Calculate Way Corporations 2018 depreciation deduction (ignore 179 expense and bonus depreciation for this problem). (Use MACRS Table 1, Table 2, and Exhibit 10-6.) (Round your intermediate dollar calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
