D) $1,053,000

Answer 1

Answer:

D) $1,053,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what Chahana's total deductions for 2019 (including Sec. 179 and depreciation) are

Sec 179 immediate expensing $1,020,000

MACRS depreciation:

Add Basis for depreciation $33,000

[($1,185,000 - $1,020,000 Sec. 179) × .20]

Total depreciation $1,053,000

($1,020,000+$33,000)

Therefore Chahana's total deductions for 2019 (including Sec. 179 and depreciation) are:$1,053,000
