Answer 1

Answer: $13,020,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Tax rate = 30%

Total interest payment for the year just ended = $43,400,000

Interest Tax Shield = Tax rate × Total interest payment

                               = 30% × $43,400,000

                               = 0.30 × $43,400,000

                               = $13,020,000

Therefore, the interest tax shield is $13,020,000.
