Answer:

1. How is this contribution treated on Richard's tax return?

Richard can deduct this donation as a qualified contribution to a charity.

2. Assuming his adjusted gross income is at least $50,000, Richard can deduct <u>$15,000</u> on his Schedule A.

Qualified contribution deductions of long term capital gains are limited to 30% of AGI, and in this case, Richard can deduct the full amount.

3. However, Richard may elect to use the 50 percent AGI limitation and deduct <u>$1,000</u>.

Richard can elect to deduct only the basis of the stock, but who likes to pay more taxes?

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

$7,000

Explanation:

Depreciation: The depreciation is an expense that shows a reduction in the value of the fixed assets due to tear and wear, obsolesce, usage, time period, etc. It is shown on the debit side of the income statement. It is a non-cash item that does not affect the cash balance.  

The computation of the depreciation expense for 2017 is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($78,500 - $8,500) ÷ (10 years)

= ($70,000) ÷ (10 years)  

= $7,000

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life
