Expert Solution

calculation of initial outlay of proposal 3 is as follows.

cost of new asset (300,000).

installation charges (15,000).

proceeds from sales of old assets 120,000.

tax paid on gain from sales of old assets* (16,000)

so initial outlay of proposal 3=120,000-300,000-15,000-16,000=$(211,000).

so option b is the correct answer.

*calculation of tax paid on gain from sales of old asset is as follows.

tax paid on gain from sales of old asset = (proceeds from sales of old assets - tax basis of old asset)*tax rate

given that,

sales price of old asset=120,000.

tax rate =40%=40/100=.4.

tax basis(book value for tax purpose)=original cost of old assets - accumulated depreciation.

given that,

original cost of old assets=100,000.

we kow that 1st year MACRS(5 years) rate =20%.

so depreciation =100,000*20/100=20,000.

so tax basis=100,000-20,000=80,000.

so tax paid on gain from sales of old asset = (proceeds from sales of old assets - tax basis of old asset)*tax rate.

tax paid on gain from sales of old asset = (120,000-80,000)*.4=16,000.
