Answer 1

Answer:

$18554

Explanation:

The formula for addition to retained earnings can be used to determine the amount of depreciation expense as shown below:

addition to retained earnings=sales-costs-depreciation expense-interest expense-tax paid-dividends

addition to retained earnings=net income-dividends

5700=net income-1980

net income=5700+1980=7680

if tax 22%,net income is 1-22%=0.78

profit before tax=7680 /0.78= 9,846.15  

tax = 9,846.15*22%= 2,166.15  

using the long formula,we have depreciation expense

5700=64000-30700-depreciation expense-4400-2666.15-1980

depreciation expense=64000-30700-4400-2666.15-1980-5700

depreciatio expense=$18553.85
