The GetWellStayWell Company just purchased some equipment that
cost $150,000. The asset is in the MACRS 3-year class for
depreciation. So the depreciation rates will be .33, .45, .15, and
.07 for years 1 through 4, respectively.
However it is expected that the asset will be sold in three years.
The tax rate for the company is 21%. What is the after-tax salvage
value at the end of YEAR 3 if the company receives: a) (4 pts)
$20,000 (at the end of year 3) for the asset? b) (4 pts) $ 5,000
(at the end of year 3) for the asset? SHOW ALL WORK FOR
FULL CREDIT.
First we have to compute the book value at the end of 3th year | ||||
Remaining book value = | 10500 | |||
150000*7% | ||||
Book value = | 10500 | |||
Ans a | sales price is = | 20000 | ||
book value = | 10,500.00 | |||
Gain on sales= | 9,500.00 | |||
Tax on gain = | 1,995.00 | |||
After tax cash flow from sale= | 18,005.00 | |||
ans = | 18,005.00 | |||
Ans b | sales price is = | 5000 | ||
book value = | 10,500.00 | |||
Gain on sales= | (5,500.00) | |||
Tax on gain = | (1,155.00) | |||
After tax cash flow from sale= | 6,155.00 | |||
ans = | 6,155.00 | |||
