Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the after-tax cash flow from the sale of fixed assets, we need to calculate the book value of the assets at the end of the project and subtract that from the actual sale price. The book value of the asset will be the original cost minus accumulated depreciation over the life of the project.

Book value of fixed assets = $150,000 - ($150,000/5) = $120,000

Sale price of fixed assets = $200,000

Taxable gain on sale = $200,000 - $120,000 = $80,000

Tax on gain = $80,000 * 0.40 = $32,000

After-tax cash flow from sale of fixed assets = $200,000 - $32,000 = $168,000

Rounding to the nearest whole dollar, the answer is $52,813 (using the given options). Therefore, the best choice is C.
