Expert Solution

There is a gain of $14,900 .

The gain is simply the difference between selling price and book value at the time of sale.

Hence Gain = 18500-3600 = 14900 at the end of year 5

Tax =Tax rate*Capital gain

= 40%*14900 = 5960

After tax salvage = selling price- tax

= 18500-5960 = $ 12540
