Consider an asset that costs $1398017 and is depreciated straight-line to zero over its 11-year tax life. The asset is to be used in a 6-year project; at the end of the project, the asset can be sold for $129577. If the relevant tax rate is 0.36, what is the aftertax cash flow from the sale of this asset?
Dep Per anum = [ Purchase Price - Salvage Value ] / Useful life
= [ 1398017 - 0 ] / 11
= 1398017 / 11
= 127092.45
Accumulated dep after 6 Years = 127092.45 * 6
= 762554.73
Book Value after 6 Years = COst - Acc Depreciation
= 1398017 - 762554.73
= 635462.27
Loss on sale = Book Value - sale Value
= 635462.27 - 129577
= 505885.27
Tax shield on Loss = Loss * Tax rate
= 505885.27 * 36%
= 182118.7
After Tax CF = Sale Value + Tax shield
= 129577 + 182118.7
= 311695.7
