Assume that the combined federal and state statutory tax rate is 38.9%.

a. Compute NOPAT using the formula: NOPAT = Net income + NNE.

Round to the nearest whole number.  

b. Compute NOPAT using the formula: NOPAT = NOPBT − Tax on operating profit.

Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

a) NOPAT = Net Income + NNE

Of the above given expenses, Interest expense is a Non Operating Expense

Net Income before provision of taxes = 690423+318904 = 1009327

Tax rate = 38.9% (given)

Net Income (after tapplying actual axes) = 1009327 (1-38.9%) = 616698.797

Net Non Operating Expense (NNE) = Non Operating Expense (1-Tax rate) = Interest Expense (1-tax rate)

= 29632 (1-38.9%) = 18105.152

NNE = 18105.152

NOPAT = Net Income + NNE = 616698.797 + 18105.152 = 634803.949

b) Of the above given expenses, Interest expense is a Non Operating Expense and hence computing Operating Profit as follows

Operating Profit = Net Sales - Cost of Sales - S,G&A = 16057935 - 12295016-2723960 = 1038959

Net sales	1,60,57,935
Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs	1,22,95,016
Selling, general and administrative expenses	27,23,960
Operating Profit	10,38,959

b) NOPAT = NOPBT - Tax on Operating profit = Operating Profit (1-Tax rate)

= 1038959 (1-38.9%) = 634803.95
