FSA - let's do more fsa guys.

pre tax income = EBT and it includes all expenses EXCEPT tax. a I/S will look like this EBIT - int exp = EBT - taxes paid net income EPS = net/shares out.

The data are clearly wrong

Agree with you strange but thats what the book says. This question is STRAIGHT FROM THE BOOK 3. PAGE 377! Take a look at the solution. i think cfa institute needs to add to errata, because I just wasted 1 hr figuring out that the solution is incorrect.

Additionally for this question the book is adding Income Expense + Pretax Income = EBIT

so, it seems as was right afterall, uh?:slight_smile:

Yep, so it should be EBIT= Net Income + Interest expenses (930 +401) =1071 EBIT- (Capitalized interest+ interest expenses)= Pre-tax Income = 1071-141+47=977

Sorry it should be EBIT= Net Income + Capitalized Interest expenses (930 +401) =1071 EBIT- (Capitalized interest+ interest expenses)= Pre-tax Income = 1071-141+47=977

Why aren’t you accounting for current year amortization?? information supplied by question Interest Expense = 401 Pretax Income = 1789 Net Income = 930 Capitalized Interest = 141 Amortization of interest = 47 Tax Rate = 35% EBIT = Pretax Income + Interest expense = 2190 Adjustments EBIT = 2190 + 47 (amortization) = 2237 Interest Expense = 401 + 141 = 542 Pretax Income = EBIT - Interest Expense = 1695 Tax = .35 * 1695 NI = 1101.7 That’s what I get. Book gets the answer of 869. and they dont show you how they get it.

Pepps you are right. However, I think the adjustment is more complex, as I see they take some percentage related to the year (however, in Stalla they just mension it, therefore I think it is not very relevant for the test)

The difference between NI and EBT does not exactly get to 35% of EBT because probably there were DTL/DTAs (remember effective and statutory taxes?). Should the interest be expensed as incurred and not capitalized, the NI would have been lower by (1-tax rate)*Capitalized interest, deduct this from the NI. But part of the capitalized interest was amortized, so rather than simply expensing the entire interest, the NI was lowered with (1-tax rate)*Amortized capital interest, add it back. Total effect: Adjusted NI = Initial NI +(1-tax rate)*Amortized capital interest-(1-tax rate)*Capitalized interest = Initial NI +(1-tax rate)*( Amortized capital interest- Capitalized interest) = 930+(1-.35)*(47-141)=868.9~869

Map - you da man!

I got 869 too with the following reasoning. 1789 (pretax) * (1-0.35) = 1163 >>>>> This is 233 more than NI Now find adjusted NI = (1789 -141 +47)*(1-0.35) = 1102 >>>>but we have to adjust it downward by 233 Adj. NI = 1102 - 233 = 869
