If we sell at the end of year 5 for $18,500 then determine if we have a gain or a loss and the appropriate tax consequence
Explain answer and how to figure on financial calculator please
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
