Edmonds Industries is forecasting the following income statement:
Sales $7,000,000
Operating costs excluding depreciation & amortization 3,850,000
EBITDA $3,150,000
Depreciation and amortization 350,000
EBIT $2,800,000
Interest 350,000
EBT $2,450,000
Taxes (40%) 980,000
Net income $1,470,000
The CEO would like to see higher sales and a forecasted net income of $1,837,500. Assume that operating costs (excluding depreciation and amortization) are 55% of sales and that depreciation and amortization and interest expenses will increase by 8%. The tax rate, which is 40%, will remain the same. (Note that while the tax rate remains constant, the taxes paid will change.) What level of sales would generate $1,837,500 in net income? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest dollar at the end of the calculations.
We will make reverse making for calculation purpose:
Earning before tax =Net income /(1-Tax rate)
= 1837500/(1-.40)
= 3062500
Interest : 350000(1+.08)= 378000
EBIT =EBT + interest
= 3062500+378000
= 3440500
Depreciation and amortization = 350000(1+.08)=378000
EBITDA = 3440500+378000
= 3818500
level of sales would generate $1,837,500 in net income = EBITDA/(1-variable cost ratio)
=3818500/(1-.55)
= 3818500/.45
= $ 8,485,556
