Answer:
Under Bonus Depreciation, which was part of the tax reform act under Trump’s administration, Taxpayers are allowed to claim 100 percent of property acquired and placed into service after September 27, 2017 and before January 1, 2023.
Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, bonus depreciation increased from 50% to 100% fro qualified property acquired between September 27, 2017, and before January 1, 2023.
Taxpayers generally want to take as much depreciation expense as possible in the earliest possible years due to the time value of money.
The time value of money states that 1 dollar today is worth more than 1 dollar tomorrow, so 1 dollar saved today is worth more than 1 dollar saved tomorrow. That means that taxpayers will want to decrease their taxes as much as possible and as soon as possible.

supplemental disclosure = $30,000
Answer:
a. Freeman estimates that it is reasonably possible but not likely that it will lose a current lawsuit. Freeman's attorneys estimate the potential loss will be $4,500,000.
- Describe the situation in a note to the financial statements.
Since the event is possible but not likely, it should be disclosed in the footnotes of the financial statements.
b. Freeman received notice that it was being sued. Freeman considers this lawsuit to be frivolous.
Since this is a frivolous lawsuit, there is no need to disclose it.
c. Freeman is currently the defendant in a lawsuit. Freeman believes it is likely that it will lose the lawsuit and estimates the damages to be paid will be $75,000.
- Record an expense and a liability based on estimated amounts.
Since the negative outcome is probable and you were able to quantify your losses, you must record the expense for $75,000 and include the amount as a current liability.
