Answer to Question A:

Initial Cost of Asset = $41,000

Depreciation Year 1 = $41,000 * 20%
Depreciation Year 1 = $8,200

Depreciation Year 2 = $41,000 * 32%
Depreciation Year 2 = $13,120

Depreciation Year 3 = $41,000 * 19.2%
Depreciation Year 3 = $7,872

Book Value of Asset at the end of Year 3 = $41,000 - $8,200 - $13,120 - $7,872
Book Value of Asset at the end of Year 3 = $11,808

Salvage Value = $17,500
Tax Rate = 34%

After-tax Salvage Value = Salvage Value - (Salvage Value - Book Value) * tax rate
After-tax Salvage Value = $17,500 - ($17,500 - $11,808) * 0.34
After-tax Salvage Value = $15,564.72

Answer to Question B:

Operating Cash Flow = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes

So, we cannot determine the answer as we need depreciation as well.
