An asset used in a four-year project falls in the five-year MACRS class for tax purposes. The asset has an acquisition cost of $6,445,011.00 and will be sold for $1,795,576.00 at the end of the project (End of the 4th year). If the tax rate is 38.00%, what is the after-tax salvage value of the asset?
First, we need to find the accumulated depreciation for the first four years. We can do this by adding the MACRS depreciation amounts for each of the first four years and multiply this percentage times the cost of the asset.
Accumulated depreciation = $6,445,011.00(0.2000 + 0.3200 + 0.1920 + 0.1152) = $5,331,313.10
BV4 = $6,445,011.00 - $5,331,313.10 = $1,113,697.90
Aftertax salvage value = $1,795,576.00 + ($1,113,697.90 − $1,795,576.00)(0.38)
Aftertax salvage value = $1,536,462.32
