Answer:

Depreciation & amortization = $1 million

Explanation:

The EBITDA is the earning of the company before interest, tax and depreciation and amortization deduction.

To calculate the Net Income from EBITDA, we subtract the charges for depreciation, amortization, interest and taxes.

Thus, net income is,

Net income = EBITDA - Depreciation & amortization - Interest - Tax

The tax is deducted from EBT which is earnings before tax. It is calculated by deducting the depreciation & amortization and interest from EBITDA. Thus, after deducting tax from EBT, we get net income. We can say that if tax is 40% it means that tax is 40% of EBT and net income is the remaining 60% of EBT.

Thus, if 60% of EBT is 1.5 million, then total EBT is,

EBT = 1.5 / 0.6  = $2.5 million

So, tax is = 2.5 * 0.4 = $1 million

Plugging in the values available in the net income formula,

1.5 = 5.5 - Depreciation & amortization - 2 - 1

1.5 + Depreciation & amortization  =  5.5 - 3

Depreciation & amortization = 2.5 - 1.5

Depreciation & amortization = $1 million

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The quality should be about the same.

The social responsibility should also be about the same.

There shouldn't be side effects of most products. If you are speaking of medications, there really ought to be the same side effects with the same severity and the same statistical occurrences.

The only difference is the company selling the product.

There have been exceptions to this where different "fillers" were used in the generic brand and the side effects were different and more severe. I've only heard of one case however and I cannot remember what it was. Manufacturers were careful not to let it happen again.

Suppose the production of cotton causes substantial environmental damage because the pesticides used by cotton farmers often mak
Kipish [7]

Answer: C. inefficiently low; inefficiently high

Explanation:

If the cotton farmers are not made to pay for the damage that their pesticides cost then they will maintain production at a relatively high level because their input costs will be relatively low. As a result of this high level of production, the price of the goods will be relatively low as well. The point at which both market equilibrium quantity and price are at in this scenario are considered inefficient because they are not taking into account, the true cost of production being the effects of the pesticides being used.

However, if they are made to pay for this negative externality that they are the cause of, it will increase their production cost and force them to reduce production to keep these costs low. As they reduce production, the market price will increase as supply is less.

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

One important financial reporting instrument for measuring and assessing an organisations liquidity risk is the Cash Flows statement. It speaks to the availability of cash in the short term, and or assets that can be readily converted to cash.

In other words, when a business has immediate financial obligations, cash refers to those resources that can be used to satisfy them.

An understanding of cash flows is crucial to business success because it:

  • provides a clear picture of an organisations cash status or liquidity;
  • helps business owners plan for how much cash expected in the future and when it is likely to come;
  • when organisations want to benchmark their performance against one another, it becomes very handy and useful. Banks, for instance, measure the ability of a business to meet it's liquidity requirements as a measure of eligibility to receive additional finance.

One way companies can maintain liquidity during this pandemic is to control overhead expenses. Necessity is the mother of invention. Companies can have their team brainstorm on creative ways to cut down on operational, administrative and production costs. Some costs which can be considered for downward revision are rent, labor costs (such as business performance incentives), professional fees, marketing costs, advertising costs, public relations etc.

Cheers!
