Stationary Bikes - Still A Top Choice For Overall Fitness
In all the craze over new fangled fitness equipment, the exercise bike often gets overlooked. Stationary bikes have been around for many years, which can lead some people to think they are outdated or not as effective as newer types of equipment. But for many people, exercise bikes provide a fun, consistent, reasonable means of exercising, improving cardio functions, and losing weight.
Stationary exercise bikes provide all the benefits of riding a bicycle. They provide good cardio workouts, have much less impact on knees, hips and other joints than walking or running, and can be used at any time it’s convenient.
Fourth Quarter Machine Tool Depreciation
Fourth Quarter Machine Tool Depreciation
Accelerated depreciation in the fourth quarter of 2004 can provide significant tax shelter to many parts production job shops or tool and die shops, according to capitol equipment financing specialists at Makino, a global provider of advanced machining technology.
Operations that invest in new equipment technology and receive delivery before December 31, 2004, may see significant corporate and personal owner refunds in the spring of 2005. In some cases, the corporate tax savings/refund will offset the first year's expenses associated with operating the machine.
After the terrorist act of 9/11, Congress passed a tax relief act in 2002 allowing companies that purchase new machinery to immediately depreciate 30 percent of the value of those acquired assets. The remaining book value would be subject to MACRS depreciation as per Internal Revenue Service guidelines.
