**Case Study: Tax Implications on Capital Investment****Scenario:**Ms. T. Potts, the treasurer of Ideal China, is faced with a financial decision. The company has ordered a new kiln costing $510,000, of which $61,000 is identified by the supplier as an installation cost.

If considered a capital investment, the cost could be depreciated using a straight-line method over five years.**Objective:**Assess how the tax authority’s decision impacts the after-tax cost of the kiln.
