Answer:

a)  $2,360,000

b)  Class life of the cells = 10 years.

c)  210748

d)  24976

Explanation:

Cost of each flexible assembly cell = $500,000

Number of flexible assembly cells = 4

Delivery and insurance  charge = $38,000

Installation charge = $52,000

a) Calculate the cost basis of the four cells

cost basis = 4 * ( 500,000 + 38,000 + 52,000 )

                 = $2,360,000

b) The class life of the cells = 10 years with GDS Recovery period = 7 years

c) Determine the MACRS depreciation in year seven ( 7 )

MACRS depreciation in year 7 = rate * cost

where rate = 0.0893 ( value gotten from table attached below )

MACRS depreciation = 0.0893 * 2360000 =  210748

d) Determine the recaptured depreciation

= New selling price * number of assembly cells * rate  ( gotten from table )

= $140,000 * 4 * 0.0446 = 24976
