Thomas Arr Golf Corp has decided to sell a new line of golf clubs. The clubs will sell for $915 per set and have a variable cost of $447 per set. The company has spent $240,000 for a marketing study that determined the company will sell 84,000 sets per year for seven years. The marketing study also determined that the company will lose sales of 8,800 sets per year of its high-priced clubs. The high-priced clubs sell at $1,345 and have variable costs of $665. The company will also increase sales of its cheap clubs by 11,200 sets per year. The cheap clubs sell for $356 and have variable costs of $153 per set. The fixed costs each year will be $14,750,000. The company has also spent $1,900,000 on research and development for the new clubs. The plant and equipment required will cost $48,100,000 and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis.At the time the assets were purchased, it was estimated for tax purposes that the assets would have a salvage value of $8,100,000 when disposed. The new clubs will also require an immediate increase in net working capital of $3,825,000 that will be returned at the end of the project. The tax rate is 24 percent, and the cost of capital is 11 percent.

If the assets are sold in year 5 for $15,000,000 what is the gain on sale (before tax) in year 5 ?
