Calculate After-Tax Cash Flow at disposal. Round the answer to two decimals.
Answer : Calculation of After Tax Cash Flows :
After Tax Cash Flow = Salvage Value + Tax on Loss on Sale
Salvage Value at the end of year 4 = 14622
Tax on Loss on Sale = (Book Value - Salvage Value) * Tax Rate
Book Value at the end of year 4 = 133270 - [133270 * (0.20 + 0.32 + 0.192 + 0.1152)]
= 133270 - [133270 * 0.8272]
= 133270 - 110240.944
= 23029.056
Tax Saving on Loss on Sale = (14622 - 23029.056) * 30%
= 2522.1168
After Tax Cash Flow = 14622 + 2522.1168 = 17144.1168 or 17144.12
