Little bugs incorporation recently reported 3 million of net income as earnings before interest text was six million and is tax rate was 40% each what was its interest expense

Net Income
Interest Expense = EBIT
1-Tax Rate
$3,000,000
= $6, 000, 000 –
1-0.40
$3,000,000
= $6,000, 000 –
0.60
= $6, 000, 000 – $5,000,000
= $1,000,000
