    The correct answer to the problem is $110,700

    Explanation:

    From the provided information,

    Book value of fixed asset = $129,000

    Sale value of fixed asset = $99,000

    If a fixed asset is sold at a loss, the after-tax cash flow is calculated by adding to the sale value, the taxes on losses on the sale of the asset.

    Therefore, the after-tax cash flow of the sale will be

    book value of asset + (sale value of asset - book value of asset) (1 - marginal tax rate)

    = 129000 + (99000 - 129000) (1 - 0.39)

    129000 + (-30000) (0.61)

    129000 - 18300

    = $110700

    The after-tax cash flow of the sale will be $110,700
