Power Manufacturing has equipment that it purchased 4 years ago for $2,400,000. The equipment was used for a project that was intended to last for 6 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 $370,000 today. The company's tax rate is 40 percent. What is the aftertax salvage value of the equipment?
Equipment Cost=$2,400,000
Useful Life=6 years
Annual Depreciation=2400000/6=
$400,000 |
Accumulated Depreciation in 4 years=4*400000=$1,600,000
Book value of equipment at end of 4 years=(2400000-1600000)=$800,000
sales price =$370,000
Loss on Sale of equipment =(800000-370000)=$430,000
Assuming that the company has enough taxable income during year 4,
Tax Saving due to loss=430000*40%=$172,000
After Tax Salvage Value =370000+172000=$542,000
After tax Salvage Value of the equipment | $542,000 |
