The firm paid out $37,000 in cash dividends.What is the addition to retained earnings? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)

Answer 1

$109,300

Step-by-step explanation:

The addition to retained earnings will be computed as follows:

Sales $587,000

Costs - $271,000

Depreciation expense - $70,000

EBITA $246,000

Interest expense - $37,000

Taxable income $209,000

Taxes @30% (209,000 X 0.3 ) $62,700

Net income $146,300

Net income = Addition to retained earnings + dividends paid

$146,300 = x + $37,000

$146,300 - $37,000 = x

$109,300 is the addition to retained earnings.
