The machinery costs $200,000, and is to be depreciated using the MACRS, as a 5 year asset. This company uses tax rate of 34% for studies, and the machine is in use for 10 years.
If the machine is sold for $80,000 in the 4th year,
Note that there are multiple questions based on this problem.
How much is the impact of this sale on ATCF (-/+) in the 4th year from the sale? (Due to loss or gain from sale)
Answer :- Impact of this sale on ATCF in 4th year will be 64550
Calculation :-
= Sale Price - ( Tax on gain/loss of sale )
Gain / loss of sale = Sale Price - Book Value
Book value = Cost price - Depreciation
Depreciation rate for macrs 5 years asset for first 4 year is 20% , 32% , 19.20% & 11.52%
So depreciation will be
1st year = 20% (i.e. 200000 * 20% = 40,000)
2nd year = 32% (i.e. 200000 * 32% = 64,000)
3rd year = 19.20% (i.e. 200000 * 19.20% = 38,400)
4th year = 11.52% (i.e. 200000 * 11.52% = 23040)
So Book value in 4th year will be
= 200000 - (40000 + 64000 + 38400 + 23040)
= 200000 - 165440
= 34560
So
Gain on sale = 80000 - 34560
= 45440
So tax on gain on sale = 45440 * 34%
= 15450
Impact of this sale in ATCF in 4th year will be
= 80000 - 15450
= 64550
