Income Before Taxes = $4,500 / 0.79
Income Before Taxes = $5,696
2.
Tax = Income Before Taxes x Effective Tax Rate
Tax = $5,696 x 21%
Tax = $1,196
3.
Income Before Interest and Taxes = Interest Expense + Income before Taxes
Income Before Interest and Taxes = $2,130 + $5,696
Income Before Interest and Taxes = $7,826
4.
Gross Profit = Sales - Costs
Gross Profit = $68,500 - $51,700
Gross Profit = $16,800
5.
Gross Profit - Depreciation Expense = Income Before Interest and Taxes
