B. $1,728

Explanation:

Data given in the question

Number of computer equipment purchased = $30,000

So, by considering the above information the maximum depreciation expense is

= Number of computer equipment purchased * depreciation rate under MACRS for 5 years property * half year basis

= $30,000 * 11.52% * 0.5

= $1,728

Refer to the MACRS table to find out the depreciation rate
