Explanation of Solution

Deduction that can be on property depends upon the use of property. The current period expenditure that is incurred for the purpose of business or trade can be used as a deduction. In case of property having finite life, then the cost can be recovered over the useful life of the asset through deduction by depreciation, depletion or amortization. The recovery on personal property can be allowed only at property's disposition. When the disposition results in a loss, then the capital recovery can made to the extent of realized amount on disposition.
