During the current year, which is the fourth year Anne LLC owned the property, the property was disposed of on January 15. Calculate the maximum depreciation expense: A. $432 B. $1,728 C. $1,874 D. $3,456 E. None of these

Answer 1

Answer:

B. $1,728

Explanation:

Data given in the question

Number of computer equipment purchased = $30,000

So, by considering the above information the maximum depreciation expense is

= Number of computer equipment purchased × depreciation rate under MACRS for 5 years property × half year basis

= $30,000 × 11.52% × 0.5

= $1,728      

Refer to the MACRS table to find out the depreciation rate
