Taxes rate = 34% = 0.34

Revenues = $20,433,770

Interest expense for the year = $1,122,376

Earnings before taxes (EBT) = $8,199,428.78

EBIT = Earnings before taxes + Interest expenses

or

EBIT = $8,199,428.78 + $1,122,376

or

EBIT = $9,321,804.78

EBITDA = EBIT + Depreciation expense

or

EBITDA = $9,321,804.78 + $2,079,112
