Answer:

The after-tax cash flow (after-tax salvage value) from the sale is $18,941.20

Explanation:

The computation of the after-tax cash flow is shown below:

= Purchase of fixed asset - depreciation charged - sale value of machine + profit on sale - tax rate

= $39,000 - ($39,000 × 20% + 32%) - $19,000 + $280 - 21%

= $39,000 - $20,280 - $19,000 + 280 - $58.80

= $18,720 + $280 - $58.80

= $18,941.20

The $18,720 reflect the Written down value of the fixed asset which come from

= $39,000 - $20,280
