Answer: $153,782.70
Explanation:
The MACRS allowance percentages are as follows, commencing with Year 1: 14.29, 24.49, 17.49, 12.49, 8.93, 8.92, 8.93, and 4.46 percent.
In 4 years, the depreciation would be:
= Cost price * (4 year deprecation)
= 525,000 * (14.29% + 24.49% + 17.49% + 12.49%)
= $360,990
Book value :
= 525,000 - 360,990
= $164,010
Gain (loss) = Sale price - Book value
= 150,000 - 164,010
= ($14,010)
Tax payable = (14,010) * 27%
= ($3,782.70)
After-tax cash flow:
= Selling price - Taxes
= 150,000 - (-3,782.70)
= $153,782.70
Note: If there are options, beware of rounding errors and pick nearest option.
