Answer:
the cost of recovery for 2019 would be $23,750.
Explanation:
hazel purchased this asset on September 30, 2018 and placed the asset in service on October 4, 2018, so here mid quarter convention is gonna be used.
The percentage of MACRS rate as per mid quarter convention is 38% for the last quarter , so the cost of recovery for deduction can be calculated as -
= $100,000 x 38% x 2.5/4
= $100,000 x 38/100 x 2.5/4
= $23,750
Therefore cost of recovery deduction for hazel would be $23,750.
