Liberty Services is now at the end of the final year of a project. The equipment was purchased prior to the new tax law and originally cost $$20,000,$ of which $75\%$ has been depreciated. The firm can sell the used equipment today for $$6,000,$ and its tax rate is $25\%.$ What is the equipment$$s after$-$tax salvage value for use in a capital budgeting analysis? Note that if the equipment's final market value is less than its book value, the firm will receive a tax credit as a result of the sale that will offset income from the company$$s other projects.
