A builder paid $120,000 for a house and lot. The value of the land was appraised at $65,000, and the value of the house at $55,000. The house was then torn down at an additional cost of $8,000 so that a warehouse could be built on the lot at a cost of $50,000. What is the total value of the property with the warehouse? For depreciation purposes, what is the cost basis for the warehouse?
Concepcion Industries paid $308,000 in federal taxes last year. If business expenses and depreciation charges were $345,000, what were their gross sales for the year?
Consider the depreciation calculation that is governed by
d (t) = p*P*(1-p) to the power t-1
B(t) =
using the value of p =
1 - (F/P) to the power 1/N,
( Where F = Salvage Value P = cost basis)
then when t = N, the book value becomes equal to
O P to the 1/N power
O P
p* P to the N power
