| 1 | Computation of After-tax Salvage Value if Machinery Purchased 3 Years Ago: | |
| Purchase Cost of Equipment (A) | 10000 | |
| Depreciation for 3 years = 10000 * (20% +32% +19.20%) (B) | 7120 | |
| Book Value at the Time of Sale (C = A-B) | 2880 | |
| Sales Value of Equipment (D) | 5000 | |
| Gain on Sale (E = D-C) | 2120 | |
| Tax on Gain on sale (F = E *30%) | 636 | |
| After-tax Salvage Value (D - F) | 4364 | |
| 2 | Computation of After-tax Salvage Value if Machinery Purchased 4 Years Ago: | |
| Purchase Cost of Equipment (A) | 10000 | |
| Depreciation for 4 years = 10000 * (20% +32% +19.20%+11.52%) (B) | 8272 | |
| Book Value at the Time of Sale (C = A-B) | 1728 | |
| Sales Value of Equipment (D) | 5000 | |

| Depreciation for 5 years = 10000 * (20% +32% +19.20%+11.52%+11.52%) (B) | 9424 | |
| Book Value at the Time of Sale (C = A-B) | 576 | |
| Sales Value of Equipment (D) | 5000 | |
| Gain on Sale (E = D-C) | 4424 | |
