Peterson Manufacturing

Its depreciation and amortization expense (in millions of dollars) was:

= $6.25 million

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

EBITDA =                                                      $18.75 million

Depreciation and amortization expense = $6.25 million

Earnings before Interest =                         $12.50 million

Interest expense =                                       $5.00 million

Earnings before taxes =                               $7.50 million

Corporate taxes (40%) =                              $3.00 million

Net Income =                                               $4.50 million

Earnings before taxes = Net income/1-tax rate

= $4.5 million/60% = $7.5 million

Corporate taxes = 40% of $7.5 million = $3.0 million

Earnings before interest = Interest expense plus earnings before taxes (earnings after interest)

= $5 million + $7.5 million = $12.5 million

Therefore, Depreciation and amortization expense = EBITDA - Earnings before Interest

= $18.75 million - $12.5 million

= $6.25 million

b) EBITDA = Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization.

balanced lifestyle would be the type of lifestyle that fulfill all aspects of our life, including financial security, personal achievements, emotional balance, and intimate relationships with other people.

for me personally, the job that i would choose to achieve a balanced lifestyle is opening an online store.

online store can be managed from the comfort of our phone. if we are the owner of the store, we can determine our own working hours. we can arrange our working hours so we have time to do things such as taking care of children, cultivating romantic relationship, or do our hobby.
