Calculate After-Tax Cash Flow at disposal. 

Expert Solution

MACRS rate for 4 years;

Year 1= 20.00%

Year 2= 32.00%

Year 3= 19.20%

Year 4= 11.52%

So,

Depreciation schedule for the $164,827 machine is as follows;

 

Year 1: $164,827× 0.2000 =  $ 32,965.40 

Year 2: $164,827× 0.3200 =  $ 52,744.64 

Year 3: $164,827× 0.1920 =  $ 31,646.78 

Year 4: $164,827× 0.1152 =  $ 18,988.07 

 

Accumulated Depreciation = $ 32,965.40 + $ 52,744.64 + $ 31,646.78  + $ 18,988.07 

= $136344.89

 

Book Value of machine = $164,827- $136344.89

= $ 28482.11

 

Loss on disposal = $13,012-$ 28482.11

= -15470.11

 

Tax on Loss = Loss on disposal × Tax rate

= -15470.11 × 0.30

= - $4,641.03

 

After-Tax Cash Flow at disposal = $13,012 - ( - $4,641.03)

=   $ 17,653.03
