ioda

Answer: See Explanation

Explanation:

You didn't give the methods to use but let me use 2 main methods.

First, let's use the Straight line Depreciation. This will be:

= ($71000 + $3000 + $2000 - $3000) / 5

= $73000/5

= $14600

Year 1 Depreciation = $14600

Year 2 depreciation = $14600

Secondly, let's use the double declining method of Depreciation will be:

= 1/5 × 2

= 0.2 × 2

= 0.4

= 40%

Year 1 depreciation will be:

= 76000 × 40%

= 76000 × 0.4

= $30400

Year 2 Depreciation will be:

= ($76000 - $30400) × 40%

= $45600 × 40/100

= $45600 × 0.4

= $18240

These include the following :

<u>2.Salary Basis Test :</u> The representative must be paid on a Salary Basis, a fixed ensured least installment must be made for any workweek for the playing out any work. This would be dependent upon admissible and impermissible derivations that decide the premise of installment. Special cases to this standard are School educators, Lawyers, Doctors, and some others.

<u>3.Duties Test</u> : The actual jobs performed by the employee must be within the qualified exempt category of high level work. These are broadly classified as Executive, Professional; and Administrative job duties.  

Thus, following out of the above will be considered for the purpose of classification to Exempt employees category:

<u>- Reimbursement of board, lodging, facilities availed </u>

Whether these form part of the compensation structure and the gross payments fall within the ambit of Levels test.

<u>- Compensation such as discretionary bonus </u>

These to be considered as part of Salary and to check whether the payments fall within the above stated levels and also the Basis of these payments whether on continuing salary or otherwise.
