Client purchased a Lojack system for $1,500 - what would you recommend to depreciate it under? I'm thinking that auto tables.

Any advise?

In what line of business is the client?

I would not use the auto tables.

TP owns three restaurants and the vehicle is 100% the businesses

I would use asset class life 57.0.

I would not consider Lojack as a permanent additional to the vehicle, because it will be transfer to a different vehicle when the current vehicle is retired.

and I would recommomend he keep the auto off of his restaurant tables also.

greasy food doesn't mix well with motor oil

OH, he wrote 'auto tables' not 'restaurant tables'


So this is a drive in? I remember going to the A&W for root beer and hot dogs with my grandmother when I was a child. They brought a tray to the car which sat on your window. But I wouldn't call that an 'auto table'.
