Answer : Depreciation Expenses : $3565
Explanation :
First we will calculate Earning Before taxes :
Earning Before taxes = Net Income / (1 - tax rate)
Net Income (Addition to retained earning + Dividends paid) = 4500 + 3420
= 7920
Earning Before taxes = 7920 / (1 - 0.21)
= 10025.3164556
Earning Before Taxes = Earning Before Interest and Taxes - Interest expenses
==> Earning Before Interest and Taxes = Earning Before Taxes + Interest Expenses
= 10025.3164556 + 3210
= 13235.3164556
Earning Before Interest and Taxes = Sales - Costs - Depreciation
==> Depreciation = Sales - Cost - Earning Before Interest and Taxes
= 68500 - 51700 - 13235.3164556
= 3564.6835444 or 3565
