Answer:
The depreciation expense for the company is $4615.
Explanation:
profit before depreciation and tax = (sales - cost) - interest expense
= ($51,200 - $39,600) - $1,560
= $10040
Addition to retained earnings = $2,320
dividends paid = $935
tax rate = 40 percent.
Addition to retained earnings = [(Profit before depreciation and tax - depreciation expense ) * (1- Tax)] - dividend paid
$2320 = [($10040 - depreciation expense)* (1 - 0.40)] - 935
$3255 = ($10040 - depreciation expense)* 0.60
$5425 = $10040 - depreciation expense
Depreciation expense = 10040 - 5425
= $4615
Therefore, The depreciation expense for the company is $4615.
