Thanks for your question. Please note as per chegg policy only one question can be answered at a time. I request you to please repost the remaining question & please refer below to the answer of your first question:
As per Section 351 of Internal Revenue Code, when depreciable property is transferred to a corporation and the transferor has not fully depreciated the property, the corporation must use the same depreciation method and recovery period that the transferor used. Further if corporation basis in the property exceeds the transferor’s basis, then the corporation should treat the excess basis as newly purchased depreciable property.
Hence option "Raccoon will continue to depreciate the $43,730 using the same schedule that Clint had already started and will depreciate the additional $10,000 of basis as if it had bought a new asset for that amount" is correct.
