Sales = $451000, Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) = $ 21800, Depreciation Expense = $ 57700, Addition to Retained Earnings = $ 49900, Shares Outstanding = 36000, Previous Years Dividend = $ 1.3, Tax Rate = 35 %
Sales =$ 451000
LESS: COGS = $ 218000
EBITDA = $ 233000
LESS: Depreciatio = $ 57700
EBIT = $ 175300
(a) EBIT = $ 175300
(b) Dividend Per Share = $ 1.3 and Shares Outstanding = 36000
Total Dividends = 1.3 x 36000 = $ 46800
(c) Net Income = Total Dividends + Addition Retained Earnings = 46800 + 49900 = $ 96700
(d) Let the firm's EBT be $ K
Tax Rate = 35 %
Therefore, EBT x (1-0.35) = Net Income
K x (0.65) = $ 96700
K = $ 148769.23
(e) EBIT = $ 175300 and EBT = $ 148769.23
Interest Expense = EBIT - EBT = 175300 - 148769.23 = $ 26530.77
(f) Times Interest Earned Ratio = EBIT / Interest Expense = 175300 / 26530.77 = 6.61 approximately.
