A six year project involves equipment costing $3,460,000 that will be depreciated using the seven-year MACRS schedule. If the estimated pre-tax salvage value for the equipment at the end of the project's life is $553,600, what is the after-tax salvage value for the equipment? Assume a marginal tax rate of 21 percent.
please show me how to do this by hand
asset cumulative depreciation rate for the first the project's life of 6 years under 7 year MACRS
=(14.29%+24.49%+17.49%+12.49%+8.93%+8.93%)
=86.62%
book value of the asset at end of project's life of six years
=3460000*(1-86.62%)
=462948
gain on the asset=553600-462948=90652
the after-tax salvage value for the equipment
=553600-90652*21%
=534563.08
the above is answer..
