MACRS, or the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System is the current tax depreciation system in the US. It assigns a schedule for yearly depreciation, depending on the type of property. Assume you are considering the purchase of a new $1756 laptop. Computers are to be depreciated as follows: 20% in year 1, 32% in year 2, 19.2% in year 3, 11.52% in years 4 and 5, and the final 5.76% in year 6. How much will your computer have been depreciated after year 2? Carry out calculations to at least 4 decimal places. Enter percentages as whole numbers. Example: 3.03% should be entered as 3.03. Do not include commas or dollar signs in numerical answers.
Please find below the answer.
Year -1 depreciation = | =1756*20% | 351.2000 | |||
Year -2 depreciation = | =1756*32% | 561.9200 | |||
