: MACRS percentages from Publication 946 Table A-14. BasisPublication 946 says that the percentages in the table are applied to the "basis" of theasset. In the glossary it defines basis as "a measure of an individual's investment in Page 14.1238.5property for tax purposes." In context, however, it is clear that basis is intended in mostcases to be the initial cost of the property. This should include items such as shippingand installation costs necessary to prepare the asset to be placed in service. The fivebooks use five different terms to describe the concept: "depreciation base", "initial bookvalue", "cost basis", "first cost" and "initial basis." Only

Under the new model, McCormick Advisers are tasked with academic advising and teaching. This 55/45 split in duties means the Advisers are more focused on the task of advising incoming classes.
