    I checked the web and found a similar question with exact same choices but different tax rate (35%) which doesn't apply for this question. Therefore, there is no correct answer in the choices given. The correct solution is as follows;

    Explanation:

    Depreciation schedule using the MACRS rates;

    Year Depreciation Accumulated depreciation

    Yr1 0.2*287000 = 57,400 57,400

    Yr2 0.32*287,000 = 91,840 57,400 + 91,840 = 149,240

    Yr3 0.192 * 287,000 = 55,104 55,104 + 149,240 = 204,344

    Yr4 0.1152 * 287,000 = 33,062.40 33,062.40 + 204,344 = 237,406.40

    Therefore, book value today is $287,000 - $237,406.40 = $49,593.60

    Aftertax salvage value = Salvage - (Salvage-Book value) * tax

    = 105,000 - (105,000 - 49,593.60) * 0.24

    =105,000 - 13,297.536

    = $91,702.46

    Therefore, none of the choices is correct.
