Answer: After tax cash flow from sale of asset = $210,802.50

Explanation:

Annual depreciation= 730,000/8= 91,250

Accumulated depreciation after 5 years = 5 X 91,250 = 456,250

Book value at end of year 5= Cost - Accumulated Depreciation

= 730,000 - 456,250 = 273,750

we can see that the Asset is sold at $192,000 which is a loss to book value

Loss on sale= $273,750 - $192,000= $81,750

Therefore,

After tax cash flow=Sale proceeds+(loss on sale*Tax rate)

=192, 000+(81,750  X 23%)

= 192,000 + 18802.5= $210,802.50
