Answer #1

“A penny saved is a penny earned”. So we can consider this annual cost cut as savings or EBITDA, that is Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation or Amortization.

When we deduct Depreciation or Amortization from EBITDA we will get EBIT( Earnings Before Interest and Taxes)

Cost of system = $38,900

Depreciation = $38,900 / 5 = $7,780

Savings = $11,900

EBIT = $11,900 - $7,780

= $4,120
