9. Office Building
- Date Purchased: 04/01/2023
- Business Use: 100%
- Cost: \[tex]$330,000 - Method: 39 SL We will now calculate the 2023 depreciation for each asset based on the provided information. 1. Computer 1: - Purchase Year: 2020 - Age in 2023: 3 years - Using the 5 year MACRS table, the depreciation rate for the 3rd year is approximately 0.192. - Depreciation: $3,000 \times 0.192 = \$[/tex]576$

2. Computer 2:
- Purchase Year: 2020
- Sold in 2023. Prorate for year of sale.
- Age in 2023 (reduced by 1 year for prorating): 2 years
- Using the 5 year MACRS table, the depreciation rate for the 2nd year is approximately 0.32.
- Depreciation: [tex]$2,500 \times 0.32 = \$800$[/tex]

3. Printer:
- Purchase Year: 2023
- Age in 2023: 0 years
- Using the 5 year MACRS table, the depreciation rate for the 1st year is approximately 0.2.
- Depreciation: [tex]$2,200 \times 0.0576 (prorate first year) = \$126.72$[/tex]

4. Computer 3:
- Purchase Year: 2023
- Age in 2023: 0 years
- Using the 5 year MACRS table, the depreciation rate for the 1st year is approximately 0.2.
- Depreciation: [tex]$2,800 \times 0.0576 (prorate first year) = \$161.28$[/tex]

5. Equipment:
- Purchase Year: 2021
- Age in 2023: 2 years
- Using the 7 year MACRS table, the depreciation rate for the 2nd year is approximately 0.2449.
- Depreciation: [tex]$2,700 \times 0.2449 = \$661.23$[/tex]

6. Auto:
- Purchase Year: 2023
- Age in 2023: 0 years
- Business Use: 90%
- Using the 5 year MACRS table, the depreciation rate for the 1st year is approximately 0.2.

7. Furniture 1:
- Purchase Year: 2021

8. Furniture 2:
- Purchase Year: 2021
- Age in 2023: 2 years
- Using the 7 year MACRS table, the depreciation rate for the 2nd year is approximately 0.2449.

Summing up all the depreciation amounts:
[tex]\[ 576 + 800 + 126.72 + 161.28 + 661.23 + 1036.8 + 3143.8 + 881.64 + 0 = 7,387 \][/tex]
