You purchase equipment for $388,915. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project’s 9-year life. Based on past information, you believe that you can sell the equipment for $41,592 when you are done with it in 9 years. The company’s marginal tax rate is 21%.
Calculate the after-tax salvage value.
Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g. 125.74632 = 125.75).
Depreciation per year = Purchase price/Life of the equipment
Depreciation per year = 388,915/9
Depreciation per year = $43,212.7777777778
Book value at the end of 9 years = Purchase price - Depreciation per year * Life of the equipment
Book value at the end of 9 years = 388,915 - 43,212.7777777778 * 9
Book value at the end of 9 years = 0
After-tax Salvage value = (Selling price - Book value at the end of 9 years) * (1 - tax rate)
After-tax Salvage value = (41,592 - 0) * (1 - 0.21)
After-tax Salvage value = 41,592 * 0.79
After-tax Salvage value = $32,857.68
