Watanabe Corporation is selling one of its assets for $1,700. The asset originally cost $10,000.  It has been depreciated under MACRS using a five-year recovery period, and it has been depreciated for four full years. Assume that the tax rate is 40 percent on both ordinary income and capital gains.  What are the tax effects of this transaction?

 

Jellibean Corporation will replace one of its existing assets with a newer type. The existing asset was purchased two years ago at a cost of $30,000 and was being depreciated under MACRS using a five-year recovery period. This existing asset can be sold for $25,000. The new asset that they plan to buy will cost $75,000 and will also be depreciated under MACRS using a five-year recovery period. If the assumed tax rate is 40 percent on both ordinary income and capital gains, the initial investment will be equal to what amount after adjusting for taxes?
