    Answer: $35,717,50

    Explanation:

    Property basis = $100,000

    Section 179 expense for current year = $25,000

    1st year Depreciation rate = 14.29%

    Adjusted basis = property basis - section 179 expense

    Adjusted basis = $ (100,000 - 25,000) = $75,000

    Adjusted basis * Depreciation rate

    $75,000 * 14.29%

    $75,000 * 0.1429 = $10,717.50

    Maximum allowable Depreciation;

    $ (25,000 + 10,717.50) = $35,717.50
