Ken Larch is a tailor. He bought two industrial sewing machines from his father. He placed both machines in service in the same year he bought them. All of the following are true except:________.A. The sewing machines do not qualify as section 179 propertyB. Ken cannot claim a section 179 deduction for the cost of these machinesC. Ken can claim a partial section 179 deductionD. The asset must be used at least 50% of the time for business in the first year it is placed in service to qualify for a section 179 deduction

Section 179 deduction is available for machinery bought and used in the business in the same year provided the usage in business is more than 50% and upper limit on deduction is $ 500,000. However, a partial deduction is possible in case cost of machine exceeds $500,000. Hence, the first option in the given question is not true.
