She does not claim anyavailable additional first-year depreciation. Click here to accessExhibit 8.1 and the depreciation table to use for this problem. Ifan amount is zero, enter "0". a. Determine Lori's total costrecovery deduction if the § 179 expense is first taken with respectto the 5-year class asset. 5-year class property Immediate expensededuction under § 179 $ Regular MACRS 7-year class propertyImmediate expense deduction under § 179 $ Regular MACRS Totaldeduction $ Feedback b.

Hint: Set up two analysis - on to find present value of taxsaving with Section 179, and one without Section 179. Then comparethem. If required, round computations to the nearest dollar.

d. Assume that Lori is in the 25% marginal tax bracketand that she uses § 179 on the 7-year asset. The present value ofthe tax savings from the depreciation deductions for both assets $.Feedback Incorrect
