    EBT = $3400

    Explanation:

    Income Statement

    $

    Sales Revenue 12,500

    Operating costs (7,250)

    Operating profit (EBDIT) * 5,250

    Depreciation Expense (1,250)

    EBIT* * 4,000

    Finance cost (7.5%) (600)

    EBT 3,400

    *EBDIT-Earnings Before Depreciation, Interest and Tax

    **EBIT-Earnings Before Interest and Tax

    EBT represents earnings available from which distribution to tax authority can be made and dividends can also be paid-out to shareholders and the balance can then be retained for future business investment and expansion.

    As a financial measure, it can be used to set target and measure performance of different divisional managers. This is possible because they have control over theit performance unlike when tax has been adjusted for which is not within their control. However, each divisional manager must be responsible for its financing decision before they can be held responsible for their performane on basis of EBT

    EBT 3,400

    Explanation:

    Earnings before Taxes (EBT)

    sales revenue 12,500

    operating cost (7,250)

    EBDIT 5,250

    (earnings before depreciation, interest and taxes)

    Depreciation (1,250)

    Interest

    debt x cost of debt

    8,000 x 7.5% = (600)

    EBT 3,400

    This will be the taxable income from which the income tax will be calculated.
