    Answer:option (e)

    None of the above

    Explanation:

    The mid quarter convention applies to this MACRS calculation.

    § 179 expense $500,000

    Additional first-year depreciation = [ ($650,000 - $500,000) * 0.50]

    $75,000 MACRS cost recovery ($75,000 * 0.05) 3,750

    Total = $78,750

    Income from the business before the cost is recovered is $600,000 less. Therefore, the Total cost recovered;

    Total cost recovery = (78,750)

    § 179 business income limitation $521,250

    Therefore, Augie's total cost recovery deduction;

    = $500,000 + $78,750

    = $578,750.
