    = $1,513,325.

    Explanation:

    Book value as on date of sale = Cost-Accumulated depreciation

    = 7,800,000 * (1-0.2-0.32-0.192-0.1152)

    = $1,347,840

    Therefore gain on sale = 1,560,000 - 1,347,840

    = $212,160

    So, after-tax salvage value = Sale proceeds - (Tax rate * Gain on sale)

    =1,560,000 - (212,160 * 0.22)

    =$1,513,325 (Approx).
