Answer:

$2.9 million

Explanation:

Book value as on date of sale = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation = $7.5 million*(1 - 0.65) = $7.5 million*0.35 = $2,625,000

Gain on sale = $3,000,000 - $2,625,000 = $375,000

After-tax salvage value = Sale proceeds - Tax rate*Gain on sale) = $3,000,000 - ($375,000*0.25) = $3,000,000 - $93,750 = $2,906,250 = $2.9 million
