    After tax salvage value = selling price * (1-tax rate) + book value*tax rate

    Book value = 8 year depreciation amount of 7 year MACR*purchase price

    After tax salvage value = $24,000 * (1-0.4) + $240,000*4.46/100*0.4

    After tax salvage value = $18,681.6

    The after tax salvage value would be of $18,681.6
