Question

IMB Corporation recently reported an EBITDA of $22.5 million and $5.4 million of net income. The company has $6 million interest expense and the corporate tax rate is 35 percent. What was the company's depreciation and amortization expense

Answer 1

Answer:

$8.2 million

Explanation:

As per given data

EBITDA         $22.5

Net Income    $5.4 Million

Interest Expense = $6 million

Tax rate = 35%

As we know the Tax is deducted from the income before tax to calculate the net income. We will calculate the Earning before tax first.

EBT = Net Income x 100% / ( 100% - 35% )

EBT = 5.4 million x 100% / 65%

EBT = $8.3 million

Now we need to calculate the Earning Before interest and Tax

EBIT = EBT + Tax Expense = $8.3 million + $6 million = $14.3 million

The Difference between EBIT and EBITDA is depreciation and amortization expense.

Depreciation and Amortization expense = EBITDA - EBIT = $22.5 million - $14.3 million = $8.2 million
