Explain why equity is not the same as cash.
Equity and cash are not synonymous. Equity is common and preferred stock and earnings retained which add to stockholders' share of the entities, as defined by Kaushik (2014). Cash is legal tender that comes in the form of banknotes, bills or coins (“Cash,” 2008). Equity differs from cash as it is the cash value for an asset while cash can be used immediately as currency. Why do we refer to depreciation and amortization as “noncash items”?
Depreciation is the reduced value of an asset (“Depreciation,” 2017). Amortization is the reduction of a debt incurred ("Amortization," 2022). Depreciation and amortization are listed on the income statement to reduce taxable income. They are referred to as non-cash items because they are expenses that do not involve a cash payment. Calculate the firm’s (EBITDA).
Number One Retail, Inc. has a gross profit of $55 million, operating expenses of $22 million (which includes $6 million in depreciation and amortization), and interest expenses of $8 million. Its corporate tax rate is 35 percent. Calculate the firm’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA).
A firm's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) is used to evaluate overall performance. It is the sum of the operating income along with depreciation & amortization. Operating income (also known as earnings before interest and taxes—EBIT) is calculated as follows: Operating income = Gross Profit – Operating Expenses – Depreciation – Amortization.
Here, gross profit is $55 million and operating expenses (which includes depreciation and amortization) are $22 million. Therefore, operating income is $33 million (subtracting $22 million from $55 million gives a total of $33 million). Next, depreciation and amortization ($6 million) is added. This makes the firm’s EBITDA $39 million.
$55 million Gross Profit - $22 million Operating Expenses = $33 million EBIT
$33 million EBIT+ $6 million Depreciation and Amortization (DA) = $
39 million EBITDA
