A company purchased a valuable capital asset three years ago for
$8.2 million and it currently has a book value of $6.2
million. The asset is now being sold for $11.6 million.
(a) What is the amount of the depreciation recapture,
ordinary losses, and capital gain associated with
the sale of the asset?
(b) Assuming that the company is subject to a federal
income tax rate of 21%, a state income tax rate of 5.6% and a
federal capital gains tax rate of 15%, what is the combined state
plus federal tax rate and how much will the company owe
in taxes as the result of this sale?
