A residential rental property is acquired during the first month of the taxable year, at a total cost (including transaction costs) of $1.2 million. Of this amount, $200,000 is properly attributable to the land. Determine the annual depreciation allowance for the first year and for each of the ensuing nine years.
As per the details given in the question, it is assumed that the
life of property is 10 years.
Depreciable Allownace 1 year = 100000
total cost = 12,000,00
Cost of the land = 200000
Note - Land is never depreciated , therfore Depreciable
amount is calculaed on 10,00,000
Life of Property = 10 years
depreciable allowance = 10,000,00 / 10
Depreciable allownce = 1,00,000 per year
Each year depreciable amount = 100000
note - Depreciable amount is calculated on straight line
basis
