A piece of newly purchased industrial equipment costs $948,000. Assume the equipment is depreciated straight-line to zero over its six-year tax life.
The equipment is to be used in a six-year project. The relevant income tax rate is 22 percent, and the capital gains tax rate is 15 percent. If the equipment can be sold for $180,000 at the end of its project life, what is the after-tax salvage value from the sale of this equipment?
$140,400
$182,720
$158,000
$135,690
$150,840
After Tax salvage Value = Sale price ( 1 - Income Tax Rate )
= $ 180000 ( 1 - 0.22)
= $ 180000 *0.78
= $ 140400
Option A is correct.
