(A) In general
(i) Property other than certain personal property
Except as provided in clause (ii), the depreciation deduction allowable under section 167 with respect to any tangible property placed in service after December 31, 1986, shall be determined under the alternative system of section 168(g).

(ii) 150-percent declining balance method for certain property
The method of depreciation used shall be—
(I) the 150 percent declining balance method,
