Answer:
Potomac LLC
Depreciation deduction for 2020 is:
$2,600.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
August 5, 2020, Purchase of an automobile for $31,200
Depreciation rate = 20% for year 1
Depreciation expense = $31,200 * 20% * 5/12 months
= $2,600
b) Automobiles attract 20% depreciation in the first year. However, since Potomac LLC purchased the automobile on August 5, 2020, the depreciation expense of $6,240 ($31,200 * 20%) will be prorated for five months, giving an average of $520 per month. This results to $2,600 ($520 * 5).
