What is the amount of the depreciation expense? (Round your taxable income and final answer to the nearest whole number.)

$70,352 Net income = $29,000 + $33,600 = $62,600 Taxable income = $62,600 / (1 - 0.34) = $94,848 Depreciation = $428,300 - $263,100 - $94,848 = $70,352

$738,500.00 EBIT = sales - costs - depreciation Costs are unknown here and we have to calculate EBIT Because we are given dividends and addition to retained earnings, we can calculate net income: Net income = dividends + addition to retained earnings = 10,100 +14,680 = 24,780 We can apply the tax rate to net income to calculate taxable income: Net income = Taxable income - (tax rate * taxable income) = Taxable income (1- tax rate) Taxable income = net income / (1- tax rate) = 24,780 / 0.6 = 41,300 EBIT = taxable income + interest = 41,300 + 9,700 = 51,000 Costs = sales - EBIT - depreciation = 811,400 - 51,000 - 21,900 = $738,500

Given the tax table below, what is the amount of tax due on taxable income of $248,700? Taxable Income Tax Rate $ 0 - 50,000 15% 50,001 -75,000 25% 75,001 - 100,000 34% 100,001 -335,000 39%

$80,243 Tax = ($50,000 × 0.15) + ($25,000 × 0.25) + ($25,000 × 0.34) + ($148,700 × 0.39) = $80,243
