12 percent. If the equipment is sold today for $225,000, what will the aftertax salvage value be?
A. $161,000 B. $178,000 C. $193,000 D. $211,000 E. $224,000
Answer:
Correct answer is:
E. $224,000
Explanation:
Purchase cost of equipment three years ago = $442,000
Depreciated per year using the straight-line method over six years = 442000 / 6 = $73,666.67
Book value today = 442000 - 3 * 73666.67 = $221,000
Sale value today =$225,000
Tax on Gain = (225000 - 221000) * 25% = $1000
After tax salvage value = Sale value - Tax on gain = 225000 - 1000 = $224,000
As such option E is correct and other options A, B, C and D are incorrect.
