    As a result of this sale, the firm's net cash flow will increase by more than $32,900. The right option is 1.

    Explanation:

    According to the given we have the following:

    asset cost = $72,800

    current book value=$42,760

    sale=$32,900

    Therefore, loss=current book value-sale

    loss=$42,760-$32,900

    loss=$9,860

    tax saving on loss=$9,860*21%=$2,070.60

    Therefore, net cash flow=$32,900+$2,070.60

    net cash flow=$34,970.60

    As a result of this sale, the firm's net cash flow will increase by more than $32,900
