    The cost recovery deduction for 2019 is $26666

    Explanation:

    Additional first-year depreciation = 40000*0.5

    = $20000

    MACRS cost recovery = (40000 - 20000) * 0.3333

    = $6666

    Total cost recovery deduction for 2017 = Additional first-year depreciation + MACRS cost recovery

    = $20000 + $6666

    = $26666

    Therefore, The cost recovery deduction for 2019 is $26666
