Answer:
The after-tax salvage value of the asset is:
= $793,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Asset acquisition cost = $6,020,000
Salvage value = $1,220,000
MACRS Depreciation Expenses = $4,800,000
Project useful life or project duration = 5 years
Tax rate = 35%
Tax expense = $427,000
After-tax salvage value = $793,000 ($1,220,000 - $427,000)
b) The salvage value of the project asset is the recovery or residual value after depreciation expenses have been recognized over the project asset's useful life. Depreciation is an accounting method of spreading the cost of an asset over its useful life. There are many depreciation methods, including straight-line, double-declining, unit-of-production, sum-of-the-years digits, etc.
