Answer 1

EBIT = 2,658,461.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the Company fullfil his expected return

Equity x WACC = Net Income

27,000,000 x 0.064 = 1,728,000 Net Income

Net income x (1-tax-rate) + interest = EBIT

1,728,000 x (1-.35) + 0 = EBIT

EBIT = 2,658,461.54

If Scarlett Corp uses no debt, then thre are no interest.
