    I’m going through Sim #40, which mentions office supplies and personal computers.

    How would I go about in finding the IRC section that would support the following rationale?

    Office furniture is classified as 7-year property; the depreciation expense for the first year is $4,287, which is $30,000 Ă— 14.29%.
    Personal computers are classified as 5-year property; the depreciation expense for the first year is $2,400, which is $12,000 Ă— 20%.

    You should just memorize the 5 year and 7 year classes. And residential vs nonresidential real property. I'm pretty sure they will give you the MACRS tables if you need them to answer a question.
