Answer and Explanation:

a. Below is the computation of the contribution margin for each segment:

                                                     (in millions)

Details            Investor Advisor             Services Services  

Revenue from

operations              $1,681                                  $1,660

Plus:

Depreciation           $171                                     $154

Contribution

Margin                    $1,852                                  $1,814

2. Next, we assess the decrease in operating income

                                                   (in millions)

Details         Combined services          Institutional Services  

Total Revenue          $9,368                                $4,771

Less:

Variable expense    $5,702                                 $2,919

                    ($2,919 + $2,783)

Contribution

margin               $3,666                                 $1,852

Less:

Fixed costs         -$325                                    -$171

Net earnings        $3,341                                  $1,681

So from the previous calculations, it shows that the net operating income has decreased by

= $3,341 - $1,681

= $1,660 million

The variable costs can be calculated as

= Service revenues minus income from operations minus depreciation expense

1. Concept Development,

2. Introduction,

3. Growth,

Answer:

The interest amounts to $1,000,000.

Explanation:

The standard format of an income statement includes:

Revenue/Sales (+)

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) (-)

=Gross Profit

Marketing, Advertising, and Promotion Expenses (-)

General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses (-)

=EBITDA

Depreciation & Amortization Expense (-)

=Operating Income or EBIT

Interest (-)

Other Expenses (-)

=EBT (Pre-Tax Income)

Income Taxes (-)

=Net Income

For this case:

EBIT equals $6,000,000.

The interest is to be determined.

Tax is calculated as 0.40.

EBITDA stands at $3,000,000.

The interest formula is: interest = [EBITDA / (1 - tax)] - EBIT

Substituting values, interest = 3000000 / 0.60 - 6000000 = -$1,000,000.

With EBIT at 6 million, the interest is $1 million, and the tax amounts to 2 million (calculated as (EBIT - interest) * 0.40).

Thus, the net income is $3 million.
