Answer 1

The after tax proceeds is computed as shown below:

Book value of equipment after 4 years is computed as follows:

= ( 1 - 0.20 - 0.32 - 0.1920 - 0.1152 ) x $ 21,000

= $ 3,628.8

So the profit earned on sale will be as follows:

= Selling price - book value

= $ 15,000 - $ 3,628.8

= $ 11,371.2

So the tax on profit will be:

Profit x tax rate

= $ 11,371.2 x 35%

= $ 3,979.92

So the after tax proceeds will be:

= Sale price - tax

= $ 15,000 - $ 3,979.92

= $ 11,020.08
