Tableau Dashboard Activity 07-01: Depreciation (Static)

Penguin Network Warehouses, LLC ("PNW, LLC") is a start-up warehousing and logistics company providing grocery stores with climate-controlled storage and just-in-time delivery of perishable goods nationwide. PNW, LLC has 10 Regional Offices with the Corporate Headquarters being in Region 5, Chicago. Each Regional Office makes tangible personal property purchases based on the needs of each location and performs the data entry exercise of entering the purchase information into a central system for fixed asset tracking and depreciation purposes.

 

Corporate has negotiated bulk pricing arrangements with its primary suppliers. Each Regional Office purchases the similar tangible personal property from three primary suppliers as follows:

 

Gentoo Refrigeration – supplier of commercial cooling machinery and equipment
Magellanic Resources – supplier of computers and peripheral equipment used to manage logistics
Emperor Office Furniture – supplier of office furniture and fixtures

 

Ms. Humboldt, the Corporate Tax Analyst, has exported the data from the central system and has created the following Tableau visualization.

 
 

As typical of a start-up business, PNW, LLC expects to generate a current year loss with regular deprecation. As such, PNW, LLC does not elect Section 179 depreciation and elects out of bonus depreciation. PNW, LLC qualifies for the half year convention.
