Answer:

$1,216,858

Explanation:

Acquisition cost of an asset = $4,700,000

Salvage value of an asset = $1,350,000

Tax rate = 23%

The after tax salvage value of the asset is

= $1,350,000 - ($1,350,000 - $4,700,000) × (11.52% + 5.76%) × 23%

= $1,350,000 - $3,350,000 × (0.1152 + 0.0576) × 0.23

= $1,350,000 - $133,142

= $1,216,858
