Answer:

e. None of the above

Explanation:

Purchase Value of Machinery = $4,000,000

Life of building = 30 years

Depreciation per year (assuming no 5% residual value)

= (4,000,000 - 200,000)/30

= $ 126,667

Dep. till December 31, 2016 = 126667*21 years

                                               = $2,660,000

Dep. till March 1, 2017 from December 31, 2016

= (122667*2)/12

= $21,111  

Total Dep. till March 1, 2017 =  $2,660,000 + $21,111

                                              = $ 2,681,111

Cost of recovery deduction = $4,000,000 - $2,681,111

                                              = $ 1,318,889

Therefore, The cost recovery deduction for the year of the sale is $ 1,318,889
