Here is the answer choices:

(A) $1,184,062

(B) $969,840

(C) $1,347,000

(D) $1,097,218

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Net sales:

= Selling price - Selling cost

= $5,100,000 - (0.03 × $5,100,000)

= $5,100,000 - $153,000

= $4,947,000

Gain on sale:

= Net sales - (Cost - Depreciation)

= $4,947,000 - [$4,820,000 - (5 × $153,016)]

=  $4,947,000 - ($4,820,000 - $765,080)

= $4,947,000 - $4,054,920

= $892,080

Tax on capital gain:

= Tax rate × Gain on sale

= 0.28 × $892,080

= $249,782.40

After-tax cash flow from sale of the property:

= Net sales - Tax on capital gain - Mortgage balance

= $4,947,000 - $249,782.40 - $3,600,000

= $1,097,218
