    Net Investment = $25,550

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Sale value (old equipment) = $61,200

    Book value of old equipment = $60,200

    New equipment cost = $86,000

    Effective tax rate = 25%

    Computation

    Gain on sale = $61,200 - $60,200

    Gain on sale = $1,000

    Amount of tax on gain = $1000 * 25%

    Amount of tax on gain = $250

    Net Gain = Gain on sale - Amount of tax on gain

    Net Gain = $750

    Net Investment = Cost of new equipment - (Sale value - Net Gain)

    Net Investment = $86,200 - (61,200 - 750)

    Net Investment = $25,550
