Question

McCanless Co. recently purchased an asset for $2,000,000 that will be used in a 3-year project. The asset is in the 4-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 33.33 percent, 44.45 percent, 14.81 percent, and 7.41 percent, respectively. What is the amount of depreciation in Year 2?

Answer 1

Answer:

$889,000

Explanation:

Data provided as per the question below:

Purchases assets = $2,000,000

Depreciation Rate for Year 2  = 44.45%

The computation of amount of depreciation is shown below:-

Amount of depreciation in Year 2 = Purchases assets × Depreciation Rate for Year 2

=$2,000,000 × 44.45%

=$889,000

Therefore, for computing the amount of depreciation in Year 2 we simply multiply purchase assets with depreciation rate for year 2.
