In addition to the facts above, XYZ purchased an expensive super-computer on 1/1/19 for $300,000. The computer has a 5-year life with no residual value. If the computer is depreciated straight-line what is the depreciation expense in year 1?

$300,000 / 5 = $60,000 (depreciation expense in year 1)

In this assignment, you will see that how equipment is used can have drastic effects on the income statement. If equipment is used in manufacturing, the depreciation is included in cost of goods sold. If it is used in R&D, it is immediately expensed if it has no alternative future uses (specialized equipment). If it is used in R&D and has alternative future uses, then it is depreciated and recorded as R&D expense.

	Scenario A - no Equipment	Scenario E -Manufacturing Equipment	F - R&D Specialized Equipment	G - R&D alternative future uses
Gross Profit Margin or Ratio	90%
