Respuesta :

Answer: $5,610,000

Explanation:

Earnings before Interest and tax = $10,000,000

Earnings before tax (EBT) = EBIT - Interest

= 10,000,000 - 1,500,000

= $8,500,000

EBT is in the $335,000-$10,000,000 range.

Tax is therefore = Tax on base of bracket + Percentage on Excess above Base (EBT - Base of bracket)

= 113,900 + 34%( 8,500,000 - 335,000)

= $2,890,000

Net Income = EBT - Tax

= 8,500,000 - 2,890,000

= $5,610,000
