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.

Answer:

The necessary tax reduction amounts to $13.33

Explanation:

The Tax Multiplier indicates the extent of change (decrease) in income resulting from a tax alteration (increase).

The formula for Tax Multiplier is Tax Multiplier = ΔY / ΔT = - MPC / (1- MPC)

Given: Required Change in Income [ΔY] = 40

The MPC is 0.75

Inserting into the formula;

40 / ΔT  = - 0.75 / (1- 0.75)

40 / ΔT = - 0.75 / 0.25

40 / ΔT  =  - 3

Thus, ΔT = - 40/ 3

This leads to ΔT = - 13.33
