Silly question for anyone who follows this company: What is the 2009 EBIT? I’ve seen a few answers and I can’t seem to get to the number I’m looking for, so I’m just curious to see what others may have. Thanks.
According to Verizon’s 2009 10-K, operating income that year was $14.027 billion.

Agreed, and I’ve seen some sources cite EBIT as $14,117 (14,027 + 90), however I was also under the impression you should start with Net Income and work bottom up to get to EBIT as opposed to top down as there may be certain assumptions that might cause the numbers to be different. The number I’m trying to get to is an EBIT of $14,389 - and I can’t seem to get there. Thanks.
