Expert Solution

Cost of asset   (80000+20000)       $100,000.00
less : 5 year Depreciation provided =           -$95,000.00
(20%+32%+19%+12%+12%)*100000          
Book value           $5,000.00
          
Sale value           $15,000.00
Sale value is more than book value. So Capital gain = Sale Value - book value=           $10,000.00
tax on capital gain (@ 40% of 9040)=           $4,000.00
          
          
Calculation of Terminal cash inflows   
          
Sale proceeds from equipment           $15,000.00
          
less: Tax on capital gain of sale of asset           -$4,000.00
          
Decline of working capital           $5,000.00
______________________________________________

Terminal cash inflow is           $16,000.00
