Problem 6-42 (b) (LO. 3)
Faraji traveled to a neighboring state to investigate the purchase of a discount shoe store. His expenses included travel, legal, accounting, and miscellaneous expenses. The total was $30,000. He incurred the expenses in June and July of 2017. In each of the following scenarios, what can Faraji deduct in 2017? In your computations, round the per-month amount to the nearest dollar.
If an amount is zero, enter "0".
d. Faraji acquired the discount shoe store but was not in the discount shoe store business when he acquired it. Operations began on September 1, 2017.
Explanation / Answer
d. The startup costs deduction will be $5000 immediately. The remaining $25000 will be amortized over 180 months starting September 1, 2017.
Amortization = ($25000/180) x 4 months = $556.
Total deduction available = $5000 + $556 = $5556.
