Depreciation Schedule | |||||
Year | Opening Balance | Depreciation Base | Depreciation Rate | Depreciation | Closing Balance |
A | B | C | D | E = C*D | F = B-E |
1 | 198498 | 198498 | 20% | 39699.6 | 158798.4 |
2 | 158798.4 | 198498 | 32% | 63519.36 | 95279.04 |
3 | 95279.04 | 198498 | 19.20% | 38111.616 | 57167.424 |
4 | 57167.42 | 198498 | 11.52% | 22866.9696 | 34300.4544 |
Sale Value at the end of year 4= $11,031
Book value at the end of year 4 = $34,300.45
Tax rate = 30%
Tax credit on loss of sale = (Book value - Sale value) * tax rate
= ($34,300.45 - $11,031) * 30%
= $23,269.45 * 30%
= $6,980.84
After tax cash flow at disposal = Sale value + Tax credit on loss
= $11,031 + $6,980.84
= $18,011.84
Therefore, after tax cash flow at disposal is $18,011.84
