Anne Rivera · Answer 1

The Rao's operating income, or EBIT is $4.90 million

Explanation:

The computation of the operating income is shown below:

= Sales revenue - operating cost - depreciation expense

= $20.50 million - $12.60 million - $3.00 million

= $4.90 million

While computing the EBIT we deduct all types of expenses from the revenue part to get the operating income.

The outstanding bonds, interest rate, income tax rate would not be relevant. Hence, ignored it
