Western Bank & Trust purchased land and a building for the lump sum of $3 million dollars. | ||||
To get the maximum tax deduction, Western allocated 90% of the purchase price to the building and only 10% to the land. A more realistic allocation would have been 70% to the building and 30% to the land. | ||||
The average useful life for commercial buildings is 25 years. | ||||
What is the depreciation expense for the 90%/10% allocation? | ||||
What is the depreciation expense for the 70%/30% allocation? | ||||
Why would Western view this action as a tax advantage? |
