Answer:

$19741.10

Explanation:

Cash flow from the sale = salvage value - tax(salvage value - book value)

Salvage value is the price at which the asset is sold

The refrigerator : $12,454.00 -0.35($12,454.00 - $18,203.00) = $14,466.15

$6,116.00 - 0.35($6,116.00 - $3,713.00) = $5274.95

Total cash flow = $5274.95 + $14,466.15 = $19741.10
