If a five-year life and MACRS. was used for the depreciation schedule, what is the after-tax cash flow from the sale of the truck (use a 30% tax rate) if the sales price was $14,000? the sales price was $9,000? the sales price was $1,000? If the sales price was $14,000. what would be the after-tax cash flow? (Round to the nearest cent.) If the sales price was $9,000. what would be the after-tax cash flow? (Round to the nearest cent.) If the sales price was $1,000. what would be the after-tax cash flow? (Round to the nearest cent.)

Explanation / Answer

Book value at year 3 = 29000 - 20648 = $ 8352

a)Capital gaine =sale value -book value

                          = 14000 - 8352

                          = 5648

Capital gain tax = 5648 * .30 = 1694.4

After tax cash flow = 14000 - 1694.4 =$ 12305.60

b)Capital gain = 9000 - 8352 = $ 648

Tax = 648 *.30 = 194.4

After tax cash flow = 9000 - 194.4 = $ 8805.6

c)Capital gain /(loss) = 1000 - 8352 = - 7352

Tax savings on loss =- 7352 *.3 = 2205.6

After tax cash flow = 1000 - (-2205.6)

                                = 1000 + 2205.6

                                 = 3205.6
