Answer #1

Information Given:-

Sales $58432
Costs $32700
Interest $4400
Dividends $2300
Addition to Retained Earnings $6700
Tax rate $35%

Assumption:-

  • The interest amount is treated as an expense.
  • Dividend is considered as dividend paid to shareholders

Calculations:-

  • Retained Earnings = Net Profit after tax - Dividend

6700 = Proft after-tax - 2300

Net Profit after-tax = 6700 - 2300 = $4400

  • Profit after-tax = Earnings before tax - Tax

4400 = Earnings before tax - (0.35 * Earnings before tax)

4400 = Earnings before tax * (1-0.35)

Earnings before tax = 4400 / 0.65 = $6770

  • Earnings before tax = Sales - Costs of sales - Depreciation - Interest

6770 = 58432 - 32700 - Depreciation - 4400

Depreciation = 58432 - 32700 - 4400 - 6770

Depreciation = $14562
