Answer:
$7.88 million
Explanation:
Net Income = (EBITDA- Interest - Dep)*(1-tax)
Net income = 9.7
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; EBITDA = 29.60
Interest = 6.8
tax = 35% or 0.35
9.7 = (29.60 - 6.8 - Dep)(1-0.35)
9.7 = (22.8 - Dep)*0.65
Divide both sides by 0.65
9.7/0.65 = 22.8- dep
14.9231 = 22.8 -dep
Dep = 22.8 - 14.9231
Dep = 7.8769
Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is $7.88 million
