Papa Roach Exterminators, Inc., has sales of $634,000, costs of $305,000, depreciation expense of $43,000, interest expense of $29,000, and a tax rate of 30 percent. If the firm paid out $80,000 in cash dividends. What is the addition to retained earnings? |
To get the amount of money added to the retained earnings is simply 99,900 $.
This can be easily calculated by making the income statement of the company.
In the first step, we deduct the COGS (Cost of goods sold) from the sales to get the EBITDA/Gross profit, Considering that their are no SG&A expenses, EBITDA and gross profit is the sam in our case. After deducting the depreciation amount we get the EBIT. From which we further deduct the interest expense. When we reach to Pretax income, we have to simply deduct 30%(Taxes), to get the Net income.
Now, Net income is the final profit/income. It can be either distributed among the shareholders or reinvested in company through retained earnings.
Out of 179,900 Dollar net income, 80k is paid in dividends, the remaining is added to retained earning.
I hope this clears your doubt.
