    It will be a net gain for 6,325.2 after taxes

    Explanation:

    Bases on the MACRS at the end of the third year. we will have a book value of 7.41% Remember that under MACRS we have a half year convention so we depreciate for half a year on the assets first year. given a total year of useful life + 1

    40,000 x 7.41% = 2.964‬

    sales price: 12,000

    we will pay taxes for the difference:

    12,000 - 2,964 = 9.036‬

    9036 x (1 - 30%) = 6.325,2
