Sheryl’s Shipping had sales last year of $10,000. The cost of goods sold was $6,500, general and administrative expenses were $1,000, interest expenses were $500, and depreciation was $1,000. The firm’s tax rate is 35%.a. What are earnings before interest and taxes?
b. What is net income?
c. What is cash flow from operations?

What are earnings before interest and taxes?

To find this figure, we substract the cost of goods sold, general and administrative expenses, and depreciaction expense from the total sales:

Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) = $10,000 - $6,500 - $1,000 - $1,000 = $1,500

What is net income?

To find the net income, we take the EBIT we found above, and substract from it the interest expense, which gives us the taxable income:

Taxable Income = $1,500 - $500

                           = $1,000

Now that we have the taxable income, we multiply this figure by the tax rate, to obtain the tax expense.

Tax expense = $1,000 x 35%

                      = $350

Finally, our net income is equal to the taxable income minus the tax expense:

Net Income = $1,000 - $350

                    = $650

What is cash flow from operations?

We add the non-cash expenses to net income to find this figure. In this case, we only have one non-cash expense: depreciation expense.

Cash flow from operations = $650 + $1,000

                                              = $1,650

you're crazy if you think that someone is going to write a 500 word report for you.
