Answer:

The after-tax salvage value of the asset is:

= $793,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Asset acquisition cost = $6,020,000

Salvage value = $1,220,000

MACRS Depreciation Expenses = $4,800,000

Project useful life or project duration = 5 years

Tax rate = 35%

Tax expense = $427,000

After-tax salvage value = $793,000 ($1,220,000 - $427,000)

b) The salvage value of the project asset is the recovery or residual value after depreciation expenses have been recognized over the project asset's useful life.  Depreciation is an accounting method of spreading the cost of an asset over its useful life.  There are many depreciation methods, including straight-line, double-declining, unit-of-production, sum-of-the-years digits, etc.
