                                       - 10 -                                         
          Petitioners have stipulated that they have not provided any                 
          information regarding the acquisition dates and costs of these              
          three vehicles.  Petitioners have substantiated the $2,196 cost             
          basis of the Chevy C-50 and the $4,176 cost basis of the Dodge              
          3/4-ton.  Accordingly, respondent has conceded the depreciation             
          claimed by petitioners with respect to these two vehicles.                  
               Petitioners placed the following assets in service in 1991:            
          General                                                                     
          Depreciation                  Recovery

          2 horses  3-yr. prop.    $3,100    3       200 DB    $1,033                 
          Computer &                                                                  
          peripherals   5-yr. prop.     2,2265         200 DB    452                  
          Office                                                                      
          furniture     7-yr. prop.       2107       200 DB        30                 
          Business                                                                    
          library       20 yr. prop.      562      20  150 DB        21               
               Total                                   1,536                          

          Petitioners have substantiated the claimed costs of these assets.           
          Accordingly, respondent has conceded the depreciation claimed by            
          petitioners with respect to these assets.                                   
               Petitioners have conceded that they erroneously computed a             
          portion of their claimed depreciation in 1991.  As a result of              
          these errors, petitioners conceded $1,800 of the $14,510 total              
          depreciation claimed for the 1991 taxable year.  On the basis of            
          petitioners' concession in the amount of $1,800, and respondent's           
          concession in the amount of $2,810, the remaining amount of                 
          claimed depreciation in dispute is $9,900.  See supra note 4.               
          With respect to the amount remaining in dispute, respondent                 
          argues that petitioners' failure to substantiate the depreciable
