Question

Custom Cars purchased $39,000 of fixed assets two years ago that are classified as 5-year MACRS property. The MACRS rates are 20 percent, 32 percent, 19.2 percent, 11.52 percent, 11.52 percent, and 5.76 percent for Years 1 to 6, respectively. The tax rate is 21 percent. If the assets are sold today for $19,000, what will be the after-tax cash flow (after-tax salvage value) from the sale?

Answer 1

Answer:

The after-tax cash flow (after-tax salvage value) from the sale is $18,941.20

Explanation:

The computation of the after-tax cash flow is shown below:

= Purchase of fixed asset - depreciation charged - sale value of machine + profit on sale - tax rate

= $39,000 - ($39,000 × 20% + 32%) - $19,000 + $280 -  21%

= $39,000 - $20,280 - $19,000 + 280 - $58.80

= $18,720 + $280 - $58.80

= $18,941.20

The $18,720 reflect the Written down value of the fixed asset which come from

= $39,000 - $20,280
