On assets acquired in 2016, the following are differences between depreciation on the tax return and accounting income during the asset's five-year life:

	Tax Depreciation in Excess	Enacted
	of Book Depreciation	Tax Rates
2016	$18,000	30%
2017	10,000	30%
2018	2,000	35%
2019	(13,000)	35%
2016	(17,000)	40%
