List the Asset Class.
Calculate the depreciation amount for the current tax year and list the table used.
Cite the information source from which you answered #1 and #2 (IRS publication, textbook, website, etc.).
Clearly identify the requirement being addressed. Show all calculations within the cells of the spreadsheet. This means that you must use formulas and links so that your thought process can be examined. Make good use of comments to convey your thought process as well. No hard coding of solutions is permitted.
Review the grading rubric, which can be accessed from the Course Information page, to understand how you will be graded on this assignment. Reach out to your instructor if you have questions about the assignment.
