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 $6,180,000 and will be sold for $1,380,000 at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 34 percent, what is the after tax salvage value of the asset?

After Tax Salvage Value = $1,273,887.36

Explanation:

Given

Acquisition Price = $6,180,000

Selling Price = $1,380,000

Tax Rate = 34%

Total Duration = 5 years

Used = 4 years

To start with we'll calculate the depreciated value for the first four years (when it was actively used).

Using MACRS Depreciation table (see attachment below).

The depreciation at year 1 = 20.00%

Year 2 = 32.00%

Year 3 = 19.20%

Year 4 = 11.52%

Calculating the Depreciation

Asset Value = Actual Asset - Depreciated Value

Depreciation = $6,180,000 - $6,180,000(20.00% + 32.00% + 19.20% + 11.52%)

Value = $6,180,000 - $6,180,000(82.72%)

Value = $6,180,000 - $5,112,096

Value = $1,067,904

After Tax Salvage Value = $1,380,000 + ($1,067,904 − 1,380,000)(34%)

After Tax salvage value = $1,273,887.36

steering wheels are always situated on the left side of the car.

always drive on the right side of the road.

white lines separate lanes of traffic traveling the same direction.

hashed or broken lines means you may change lanes when it is safe.

solid white lines mean stay in your lane.

yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposing directions.

hashed or broken yellow lines mean you can carefully pass, paying attention to oncoming traffic.

never cross a solid yellow line (or double yellow line).

when turning left at an intersection, pass in front of any cars that are turning left from the opposing direction (do not try to pass behind them).

use the left lane to pass other cars traveling your direction.

do not pass in the right lane unless absolutely necessary.

if you are driving in the far left hand lane and someone would like to pass you, move over to the right lane when it is safe to do so and allow them to pass.

you must always yield to pedestrians.

come to a complete stop whenever you see pedestrians trying to cross the street.

never pass a school bus if it has flashing red lights. wait until the lights have stopped.

be aware of bicyclists. often they share the road with cars and are supposed to also follow general traffic laws.

be particularly careful about driving in cities with bike lanes -- always check before turning that a bike is not coming.

it is mandatory to pull over or stop at an intersection to allow an emergency vehicle to pass you if you see one traveling with lights flashing and/or a siren running.

do not overuse your car horn. horns are used almost exclusively for emergency situations or for when you feel unsafe.
