A. $40,000

B$32,000

Explanation:

Cost Recovery can be defined as the way in which a business or an organisation is said to record the revenue in which they earns from

the transaction carried out at the time that their client has paid the invoice given to him or her in the cost of the transaction.

Asset acquired = $200,000

Tax rate = 20%

Hence:

$200,000*0.2

= $40,000

B.

Asset acquired = $200,000

Tax rate = 32%

Hence:

$200,000*0.32

= $32,000
