Colonnade Corporation purchased a machine for use in the firm's manufacturing process. The original cost of the machine was $1,800,000.

Parrain

Answer: $27,200

Explanation:

Machine depreciation:

There is no salvage value so depreciation is:

= 1,800,000 / 15

= $120,000

Gain on the machine when sold was:

= Selling price - Book Value of asset

= Selling price - (Cost price - Accumulated depreciation for 13 years)

= 320,000 - (1,800,000 - (120,000 * 13))

= $80,000

Tax on gain:

= 80,000 * 34%

= $27,200
