Basis and Expensing
Richard bought a used hay wagon. He traded a hay rake that had an undepreciated value of $75. He paid $275 cash difference. What is the basis on the hay wagon? Jerri traded a bull with an undepreciated value of $300 for two cows that cost $500 each. The difference was paid in cash. What is Jerri’s basis on the cows? Richard does not want to depreciate his hay wagon. Instead he decides to expense it. Can he do this, and if he can, how much more could he expense during the same tax year? Jerri has $50,000 in taxable income this year. She has not yet used any expensing. How much could she lower her taxable income if she could take full advantage of expensing?

Basis and Expensing
Richard bought a used hay wagon. He traded a hay rake that had an undepreciated value of $75. He paid $275 cash difference. What is the basis on the hay wagon? $75 + $275 = $350 Jerri traded a bull with an undepreciated value of $300 for two cows that cost $500 each. The difference was paid in cash. What is Jerri’s basis on the cows? 2 x $500 = $1000 The exchange of livestock of one sex for livestock of another sex is not considered a like-kind exchange. So, the tax basis of the cows is figured independently of the basis left in the bull. Richard does not want to depreciate his hay wagon. Instead he decides to expense it. Can he do this, and if he can, how much more could he expense during the same tax year? Yes - $10,000 - $350 = $9650 Jerri has $50,000 in taxable income this year. She has not yet used any expensing. How much could she lower her taxable income if she could take full advantage of expensing? $10,000

a. Half of annual was depreciated the first year; therefore, remaining half ($1,000) is depreciated the last year, year 8
b. Determine the amount that has been depreciated in years one through seven. The remaining amount is depreciated in year 8 Year 1 = $1,000 Year 2 = $2,000 Year 3 = $2,000 Year 4 = $2,000 Year 5 = $2,000 Year 6 = $2,000 Year 7 = $2,000 Total = $13,000 $14,000 - $13,000 = $1,000 for year 8
