Question

Edward's Manufactured Homes purchased some machinery 2 years ago for $319,000. These assets are classified as 5-year property for MACRS. The company is replacing this machinery today with newer machines that utilize the latest in technology. The old machines are being sold for $140,000 to a foreign firm for use in its production facility in South America. What is the aftertax salvage value from this sale if the tax rate is 35 percent?

MACRS 5 Year Property Year Rate 1 20.00% 2 32.00% 3 19.20% 4 11.52% 5 11.52% 6 5.76%

Explanation / Answer

book value after 2 year of machine = 319000*(1-.2-.32) = $153120

selling price = $140000

tax = -.35*(153120-140000) = -$4592

after tax salvage value of machine = 140000+4592 = $144592 (ANSWER)
