(C) $19,776.80

Explanation:

The company will pay taxes for the difference between book value and sale value at disposal:

book value after 2 years:

It will be acquisition less accumulated depreciation, which is the sum of the MACRS depreciation rate for this two years

32,600 (1 - 0.20 - 0.32) = 32,600 x 0.48 = 15,648

sales price: 22,000

taxes: (22,000 - 15,648) x. 35

6,352 x 0.35 = 2,223.2

after tax cash flow: 22,000 - 2,223.2 = 19,776.8
