Option D) $54.400

Explanation:

When  a company disposes a capital asset, the cost of the asset it's the remanent value, that is the difference between the original cost less the accumulated depreciation, in this case $170.000 minus $109.000, remanent value is $61.000.

This value it's the cost of sale and the price it's $50.000 , the result of this transaction it's a loss of ($11.000) so the after-tax cash inflow it's ($4.400).

The total Cash Inflow it's the sum of $50.000 (gained from the sale) and the save on taxes for $4.400, because of the loss I get a payback on taxes, the total is $54.400.

contributions made after 1986. after-tax contributions to employer plans made after 1986 are recovered pro rata with taxable amounts. the remaining $80,000 is from pre-tax contributions, employer matching dollars, and earnings on those amounts.
