Expert Solution

Annual depreciation=(Cost-Salvage value)/Useful life

=(1,500,000-300,000)/3=$400,000

Hence book value as on date of sale=cost-Accumulated depreciation

=$1,500,000-(400,000*2)=$700,000

Hence loss on sale=(700,000-600,000)=$100,000

Hence after-tax salvage value=Sale proceeds+(Tax rate*loss on sale)

=$600,000+($100,000*0.3)

which is equal to

=$630,000.
