Question

Eastern Corporation has $21,000,000 in equipment that has a 15 year class life. The equipment is 8 years old. Eastern is selling the equipment for $10,000,000. Eastern uses simplified straight line depreciation (zero salvage value) and has a marginal tax rate of 34%. What is the terminal cash flow?

Answer 1

$9,932,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the terminal cash flow

First step is to calculate the Sales value

Sales value =21,000,000/15 years*7years

Sales value=9,800,000

Note 15 years -8 years will gives 7 years

Second Step is to calculate the tax amount

Using this formula

Tax amount=Book Value-Sales value

Let plug in the formula

Tax amount=10,000,000-9,800,000*(34%)

Tax amount=200,000*34%

Tax amount=68,000

Last step is to calculate the terminal cash flow

Using this formula

Terminal cash flow=Book value-Tax amount

Let plug in the formula

Terminal cash flow=10,000,000-68,000

Terminal cash flow=$9,932,000

Therefore the Terminal cash flow will be $9,932,000
