Companies generate income from their "regular" operations and from other sources like interest earned on the securities they hold, which is called non-operating income. Lindley Textiles recently reported $12,500 of sales, $7,250 of operating costs other than depreciation, and $1,000 of depreciation. The company had no amortization charges and no non-operating income. It had $8,000 of bonds outstanding that carry a 7.5% interest rate, and its federal-plus-state income tax rate was 25%. How much was Lindley's operating income, or EBIT?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The operating income of Lindley's  would be $4250.

Explanation:

In this question it is asked to take out the operating income or EBIT , which is know as earnings before interest and taxes, so while calculating the operating income for the Lindley's the federal plus state tax and interest on bond would not be included.

OPERATING INCOME =

SALES - OPERATING COST - DEPRECIATION

= $12,500 - $7250 - $1000

= $4250
