Companies generate income from their "regular" operations and from things like interest on securities they hold, which is called non-operating income. Mitel Metals recently reported $9,000 of sales, $6,000 of operating costs other than depreciation, and $1,500 of depreciation. The company had no amortization charges and no non-operating income. It had issued $4,000 of bonds that carry a 7% interest rate, and its federal-plus-state income tax rate was 40%. What was the firm's operating income, or EBIT?

$1,100

$1,200

$1,300

$1,400

$1,500

Answer:

$1,500

Explanation:

The computation of the firm operating income is shown below:

= Sales - operating cost other than depreciation - depreciation expenses

= $9,000 - $6,000 - $1,500

= $1,500

We simply deduct the operating cost and the depreciation expenses from the sales revenue amount to find out the earnings before income and taxes (EBIT) or firm operating income
