Murphy Mining Company recently purchased a quartz mine that it intends to work for the next 10 years. According to state environmental laws, Murphy must restore the mine site to its original natural prairie state after it ceases mining operations at the site. To properly account for the mine, Murphy must estimate the fair value of this asset retirement obligation. This amount will be recorded as a liability and added to the value of the mine on Murphy’s books. (You will learn more about these asset retirement obligations in Chapters 10 and 13.) There is no active market for retirement obligations such as these, but Murphy has developed the following cash flow estimates based on its prior experience in mining-site restoration. It will take 3 years to restore the mine site when mining operations cease in 10 years. Each estimated cash outflow reflects an annual payment at the end of each year of the 3-year restoration period. Restoration EstimatedCash Outflow ProbabilityAssessment…

Which of the following statements with respect to the depreciation of property under MACRS is incorrect? Under the half-year convention, one-half year of depreciation is allowed in the year the property is placed in service. If a taxpayer elects to use the straight-line method of depreciation for property in the 5 -year class, all other 5 -year class property acquired during the year must also be depreciated using the straight-line method. In some cases, when a taxpayer places a significant amount of property in service during the last quarter of the year, real property must be depreciated using a mid-quarter convention. Real property acquired after 1986 must be depreciated using the straight-line method. The cost of property to which the MACRS rate is applied is not reduced for estimated salvage value.
