Answer:

E. The aftertax salvage value is $81,707.76.

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Accumulated depreciation is

= $287,000 × ( .2 + .32 + .192 + .1152)

= $237.406.40

Now the book value is

= Purchase value - accumulated depreciation

= $287,000 - $237,406.40

= $49,593.60

And, the selling value is $99,000

So after tax salvage value is

= Salvage value - (Salvage value - book value) × tax rate

= $99,000 - ($99,000 - $49,593.60) × 35%

= $81,707.76.
