rown Office Supplies recently reported $18,000 of sales, $8,250
of operating costs other than depreciation, and $1,750 of
depreciation. It had $9,000 of bonds outstanding that carry a 7.0%
interest rate, and its federal-plus-state income tax rate was 40%.
How much was the firm's earnings before taxes (EBT)? |
EVA is computed as shown below:
= ( [ Net income / (1 - tax rate) ] + interest expense) x (1 - tax rate) - total invested capital employed x after tax cost of capital
= ( [ $ 750,000 / (1 - 0.40) ] + $ 200,000 ) x (1 - 0.40) - $ 9,000,000 x 10%
= $ 870,000 - $ 900,000
= - $ 30,000
So, the correct answer is option a.
The EBT is computed as shown below:
= Sales - operating cost other than depreciation - depreciation - Amount of debt x interest rate
= $ 18,000 - $ 8,250 - $ 1,750 - $ 9,000 x 7%
= $ 7,370
So, the correct answer is option c.
