Verizon [17]

Answer:

The accounting cost and the economic cost associated with​ Joe's computer software business is $75,00 and the $165,000 respectively.

                           = $75,000

Economic cost = Accounting cost + Salary expense + Rent expenses

= $39000 × 8months/5 years

= $39000 × 8months / 60months

c. The amount of depreciation for 2017, including bonus depreciation but no election to expense, that Mike could deduct using the MACRS tables will be:

= ($39000/2) + $3900

= $19500 + $3900

= $23400

d. If there is no income limit on the expense election, the amount of depreciation for 2017 including bonus depreciation and the election to expense that Mike can deduct will be:
