You are considering buying a company using leveraged buyout. The company is projected to have sales of 500 million each year in
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Net income=  $33 million

Explanation:

A leveraged buyout is a buyout of an entity by it's own managers/board members mostly through debt financing. Now the expected sales after the buyout is 500 million, we are asked to calculate net income only in the first year. First of all lets see what net income is. Net income is the remaining amount of income after having paid all the expenses which is mostly the residual income available for either distribution to shareholders or transfer to retained earnings.

The formula for net income is as follows:

Net income/profit= Sales revenue - COGS - Administrative expenses- depreciation and amortization - Interest expense - Tax

Let first calculate COGS & other administrative expense, depreciation and interest expenses first.

COGS & ADMIN: 500*0.6=300 m

Depreciation: 500*0.05 =25m

Interest expense for the year: 1500 * 0.08= 120m

Now lets substitute values in the formula mentioned above:

Income before taxes: 500m - 300m - 25m - 120m

Income before taxes: 55m

Income after taxes; 55m - 22m (taxes= 55*40%)

Net income=  $33 million
