Test Bank Chapter 10 Property Acquisition And Cost Recovery

Taxation of Individuals, 11e (Spilker)

Chapter 10 Property Acquisition and Cost Recovery

1) Like financial accounting, most acquired business property must be capitalized for tax purposes.

2) Tax cost recovery methods include depreciation, amortization, and depletion.

3) If a business mistakenly claims too little depreciation, the business must only reduce the asset's basis by the depreciation actually taken rather than by the amount of the allowable depreciation.

4) An asset's capitalized cost basis includes only the actual purchase price, whereas expenses to purchase, prepare the asset for use, and begin using the asset are immediately expensed.

5) The basis for a personal-use asset converted to business use is the lesser of the asset's cost basis or fair market value on the date of the transfer or conversion.

6) Depreciation is currently computed under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS).

7) The 200 percent or double declining balance method is allowable for five- and seven-year property.

8) Taxpayers may use historical data to determine the recovery period for tax depreciation.

9) Taxpayers use the half-year convention for all assets.

10) If a taxpayer places only one asset (a building) in service during the fourth quarter of the year, the mid-quarter convention must be used.

11) The MACRS depreciation tables automatically switch to the straight-line method when the straight-line method yields a higher annual depreciation amount than the declining balance method.

12) If tangible personal property is depreciated using the half-year convention and is disposed of during the first quarter of a subsequent year, the taxpayer must use the mid-quarter convention for the year of disposition.

13) If a machine (seven-year property) being depreciated using the half-year convention is disposed of during the seventh year, a taxpayer must multiply the appropriate depreciation percentage from the MACRS table by 50 percent to calculate the depreciation expense properly.

14) Real property is depreciated using the straight-line method.

15) The mid-month convention applies to real property in the year of acquisition and disposition.

16) All taxpayers may use the §179 immediate expensing election on certain property.

17) The §179 immediate expensing election phases out based upon a taxpayer's taxable income.

18) The §179 immediate expensing election phases out based upon the amount of tangible personal property a taxpayer places in service during the year.

19) Property expensed under the §179 immediate expensing election is not included in the 40 percent test to determine whether the mid-quarter convention must be used.

20) In general, a taxpayer should select longer-lived property for the §179 immediate expensing election.

21) Bonus depreciation is used as a stimulus tool by tax policy makers.

22) Used property is eligible for bonus depreciation.

23) Business assets that tend to be used for both business and personal purposes are referred to as listed property.

24) If the business-use percentage for listed property falls below 50 percent, the only adjustment is that all future depreciation must be calculated under the straight-line method.

25) Limits are placed on the depreciation of luxury automobiles.

26) To increase their depreciation deduction on automobiles, taxpayers should elect §179 expense.

27) The alternative depreciation system requires both a slower method of recovery and longer recovery periods.

28) The method for tax amortization is always the straight-line method.

29) All assets subject to amortization have the same recovery period.

30) Goodwill and customer lists are examples of §197 amortizable assets.

31) Taxpayers may always expense a portion of start-up costs and organizational expenditures.

32) Businesses may immediately expense research and experimentation expenditures, or they may elect to capitalize these costs and amortize them using the straight-line method over a period of not less than 60 months.

33) The manner in which a business amortizes a patent or copyright is the same whether the business directly purchases the patent or copyright or whether it self-creates the intangible.

34) Depletion is the method taxpayers use to recover their capital investment in natural resources.

35) In general, major integrated oil and gas producers may take the greater of cost or percentage depletion.

36) Cost depletion is available to all natural resource producers.

37) Businesses deduct percentage depletion when they sell the natural resource and they deduct cost depletion in the year they produce or extract the natural resource.
