The J. Harris Corporation is considering selling one of its old assembly machines. The machine, purchased for $30,000 5 years ago, had an expected life of 10 years and an expected salvage value of zero. Assume Harris uses simplified straight-line depreciation (depreciation of $3,000 per year) and could sell this old machine for $35,000. Also assume Harris has a 21 percent marginal tax rate.

a. What would be the taxes associated with this sale?

b. If the old machine were sold for $25,000, what would be the taxes associated with this sale?

c. If the old machine were sold for $15,000, what would be the taxes associated with this sale?

d. If the old machine were sold for $12,000, what would be the taxes associated with this sale?
