An engineer who is now 65 years old began planning for retirement 40 years ago. At that time, he thought that if he had $1 million when he retired, he would have more than enough money to live his remaining life in luxury. Assume the inflation rate over the 40-year time period averaged a constant 4% per year. Required:
a. What is the CV purchasing power of his $1 million at age 65?
b. How many future dollars should he have accumulated over the 40 years to have a CV purchasing power equal to $1.9 million at his current age of 65?

Lo.2, 3, 9 lori, who is single, purchased 5-years class property for $200,00 and 7-years class property for $420,000 on may 20, 2018. lori experts the taxable income derived form the business (without regard to the amount expensed under ⧠179) to be about $550,000. lori has determined that she should elect immediate ⧠179 expensing in the amount of $520,000, but she doesn’t know which asset she should completely expense under ⧠179. she does not claim any available additional first-year depreciation. a. determine lori’s total cost recovery deduction if the ⧠179 expense is first taken with respect to the 5-year class asset. b. determine lori’s total cost recovery deduction if the ⧠179 expense is first taken with respect to the 7-year class asset. c. what is your advice for lori? d. assume that lori is in the 24% marginal tax bracket and that she uses ⧠179 on the 7-year asset. determine the present value of the tax savings from the depreciation deductions for both assets. see appendix g for present value factors, and assume a 6% discount rate. e. assume the same facts as in part (d), except that lori decides not to use ⧠179 on either asset. determine the present value of the tax savings under this choice. in addition, determine which option lori should choose. f. present your solution to parts (d) and (e) of the problem in a spreadsheet using appropriate microsoft excel formulas. e-mail your spreadsheet to your instructor with a two-paragraph summary of your findings.
