Power Manufacturing has equipment that it purchased 7 years ago for $2,550,000. The equipment was used for a project that was intended to last for 9 years. However, due to low demand, the project is being shut down. The equipment was depreciated using the straight-line method and can be sold for $400,000 today. The company's tax rate is 40 percent. What is the aftertax salvage value of the equipment?
a.$400,000 b.$560,000 c.$466,667 d.$333,333 e.$433,333
Well, the answer is A)
Because, we can see that,
Purchase value = $ 2,550,000
Useful years = 7
Salvage value = $ 4,00,000
Deprication = straight line
so, formula for staright line = purchase value - salvage value / useful years = 2550000 - 400000 = $ 2,150,000 / 7
= 307,142.86 is the one year depreciation
so obviously for 7 years = 307142.86 * 7 = 2,150,000
AFTER TAX SALVAGE VALUE = SALVAGE VALUE - TAX ( SALVAGE VALUE - BOOK VALUE)
= 4,00 ,000 - 40% ( 400000 - 400000)
= 4,00,000 - 0
SO, ANSWER IS $ 4,00,000
