Lori expects the taxable income derived from her business (without regard to the amount expensed under 179) to be about 550,000. Lori has determined that she should elect immediate 179 expensing in the amount of 520,000, but she doesnt know which asset she should completely expense under 179. She does not claim any available additional first-year depreciation. a. Determine Loris total cost recovery deduction if the 179 expense is first taken with respect to the 5-year class asset. b. Determine Loris total cost recovery deduction if the 179 expense is first taken with respect to the 7-year class asset. c. What is your advice to Lori? d. Assume that Lori is in the 24% marginal tax state and Federal income bracket and that she elects 179 for the 7-year asset. Determine the present value of the tax savings from the cost recovery deductions for both assets. See Appendix H for present value factors, and assume a 6% discount rate. e.
