Given the following info the Soprano Pizza Co., calculate the depreciation expense: sales = $21,000; costs = $10,000; addition to retained earnings = $4,000; dividends paid = $800; interest expense = $1,200; tax rate = 35%.
ANSWER:
Let the depreciation expense be x
Particulars | Amount($) |
Sales | 21,000 |
less: Cost | (10,000) |
Interest | (1200) |
Depreciation | X |
Earning before interest & tax | 9800+X |
Less: Tax@35% | (3430+0.35X) |
Earning after tax | 6370+0.65X |
Less:Dividend | (800) |
Retained Earning (Given) | 4000 |
As we know,
(Earning after tax) - dividend = Retained Earning
(6370 + 0.65X )- 800 = 4000
5570 +0.65X =4000
5570-4000 = 0.65X
1570 =0.65X
X =1570 divided by 0.65
X=2415.38 or 2415
Hence the Depreciation Expense would be 2415
