Answer:$6,843.33=Depreciation

Explanation:

To Calculate the depreciation expense for the company

Net income = Dividends + Addition to retained earnings

Net income = $3,320 + 7,500

Net income = $10,820

Also,

Net income = Taxable income - (Taxable income)(Tax rate)

Net income = Taxable income(1 - Tax rate)

Therefore,

Taxable income = Net income / (1 - Tax rate)

Taxable income = $10,820 / (1 - 0.25

Taxable income = $10,820/0.75 =14,426.67

But

EBIT -interest = taxable income,So

EBIT = Taxable income + Interest

EBIT = $14,426.67+3,030

EBIT = 17,456.67

EBIT = Sales - Costs - Depreciation

$17,456.67 = $82000 - 57,700 - Depreciation

$17,456.67= 24,300-Deprecistion

Depreciation =24,300-17456.67 =

$6,843.33
