Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

Calculate the tax rate

Tax rate = U.S federal  Income tax rate + Effective state income tax rate

= 35.0% +3.5%

=38.5%

b)

Here,

net operating profit=sales - cost of sales-selling,general and administrative expenses

=$30,944,938 -$22,034,523 - $5,205,715

=$3,704,700

calculate the NOPAT.

NOPAT=Net operating profit -provision for income taxes -Tax on intrest

=$3,704,700 - $1,380,642 - (38.5% × 46,400)

=2,306,194.00
