Answer 1

Answer:

$791,504.40

Explanation:.

Calculation for the after tax salvage value of the asset

Asset Aftertax salvage value = $1,100,000- [$1,100,000-($2,600,000 x .0741)] x .34

Asset Aftertax salvage value = $1,100,000- [$1,100,000-$1,926,600] x .34

Asset Aftertax salvage value = $791,504.40

Therefore the after tax salvage value of the asset will be $791,504.40
