Answer #1
Sales 304,940
Less:cost 153,070
Less:depreciation 15335
EBIT 136535
Less:interest expense 24070
EBT(100%) 112465
Less:tax(balance)(112465-76092) 36373
Net income(63,542+12550) 76092
Less:Dividends 12550
Addition to retained earnings 63,542

Hence average tax rate=Total taxes/EBT

=(36373/112465)

=32.34%(Approx).
