An asset used in a four-year project falls in the five-year MACRS class (MACRS Table) for tax purposes. The asset has an acquisition cost of $8,200,000 and will be sold for $1,860,000 at the end of the project.

Explanation / Answer

according to 5 year MACR, value left after 4 years is 1 - 0.2 - 0.32 - 0.192 - 0.1152 = 0.1728

Hence the book value is 8200000 * 0.1728 = 1416960

Tax = 0.4 * ( 1860000 - 1416960 ) = 177216

Net gain = 1860000 - 177216 = 1,682,784
