Assume that an asset is being held on a firm’s balance sheet at a value of $25,000. The firm no longer needs the asset and sells it for $42,000. The relevant tax rate is 25%. What is the relevant (cash-based) salvage value for the firm to include in any capital budgeting analysis of this transaction?
Gain on sale=(42000-25000)=$17000
Hence relevant salvage value=Sale proceeds-(Tax rate*Gain on sale)
=42000-(17000*25%)
which is equal to
=$37750
