Once a gain or loss is recognized, a taxpayer must determine how the recognized gain or loss affects the taxpayer’s tax liability. The character depends on a combination of two factors: purpose or use of the asset and holding period. The purpose or use of the asset is important because the law does not treat all assets equally. The general use categories are: (1) trade or business, (2) for the production of income (rental activities), (3) investment, and (4) personal.

During the year new office equipment was purchased at a cost of $2,697.50. We will calculate the difference between the accumulated Depreciation of office equipment balance and the office equipment account.
