An energy production company has the following information regarding the acquisition of new gas- turbine equipment. Purchase price = S780,000 Trans-oceanic shipping and delivery cost =$4300 Installation cost (1 technician at $1600 per day for 4 days) = $6400 Tax recovery period = 15 years Book depreciation recovery period = 10 years Salvage value = 10% of purchase price Operating cost (with technician) = $185,000 per year The manager of the department asked your friend in Accounting to enter the appropriate data into the tax-accounting program. What are the values of B, n, and S in depreciating the asset for tax purposes that he should enter?
