Solution

To calculate the maximum depreciation expense for Clay LLC, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Determine the §179 expensing: The §179 deduction allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment bought or financed during the tax year. As of 2023, the maximum amount that can be deducted is 1,050,000.So,ClayLLCcandeduct1,050,000. So, Clay LLC can deduct 1,050,000 from the basis of the machinery and equipment.

  2. Calculate the remaining basis: Subtract the §179 expensing from the original basis. 3,515,0003,515,000 - 1,050,000 = $2,465,000.

  3. Determine the depreciation rate: According to MACRS Table 1, the depreciation rate for seven-year property placed in service in the first half of the year (before July) is 14.29% for the first year.

  4. Calculate the depreciation expense: Multiply the remaining basis by the depreciation rate. 2,465,00014.292,465,000 * 14.29% = 352,193.50.

  5. Add the §179 expensing to the depreciation expense to get the maximum depreciation expense. 1,050,000+1,050,000 + 352,193.50 = $1,402,193.50.

So, the maximum depreciation expense for Clay LLC in 2023, including §179 expensing and ignoring any possible bonus depreciation, is $1,402,193.50.
