During 2017, company XYZ had sales 252189; costs 130794; depreciation expense 43813; interest expense 19808; tax rate 35 percent.
a) Given this information what is company XYZ net income
b) Calculate company XYZ operating cash flow.
c) If company XYZ had additions to retained earnings 7206 in 2017. What is the dividend payout ratio? Express your answer as %.
a)
Income before tax = Sales-Costs-Depreciation-interest
Tax= 35% of income before taxes
Income before taxes=252189-130794-43813-19808 =57774
Tax =35% of 57774 =20,221
Net income= income before taxes- tax =57774-20221=37553
b)
Opearting cash flow=Net income +depreciation+ interest = 37553+43813+19808=101174
c)
Net income=37553
Increase in retained earnings =7206
Hence dividend= net income- increase in retained earnings=37553-7206= 30347
Dividend payout ratio= dividend/ net income =30347/37553 =80.81%
