Last year Rattner Robotics had $5 million in operating
income (EBIT). Its depreciation expense was $1 million, its interest expense was $1 million,
and its corporate tax rate was 40%. At year-end, it had $14 million in operating current
assets, $3 million in accounts payable, $1 million in accruals, $2 million in notes payable,
and $15 million in net plant and equipment. Assume Rattner has no excess cash. Rattner
uses only debt and common equity to fund its operations. (In other words, Rattner has no
preferred stock on its balance sheet.) Rattner had no other current liabilities. Assume that
Rattner’s only noncash item was depreciation.
