Respuesta :

Answer:

$6,545.45

Explanation:

Given that,

Cost of building = $180,000

MACRS life of building = 27.5 years

Therefore, the amount of depreciation on the building is calculated by dividing the cost of building by MACRS life of building.

Amount of depreciation for the building:

= Cost of building ÷ MACRS life

= $180,000 ÷ 27.5

= $6,545.45
