Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The earnings before interest and after taxes (EBIAT) from the Japanese operations can be calculated by first determining the net income after taxes and then adding back the interest expense (if any was subtracted initially to get to net income), assuming the question implies that taxes have already been accounted for. Without specific numbers provided for tax rates, interest, or initial earnings, the correct answer cannot be determined through calculation. However, given the options and the context that it's a calculation after taxes, option C seems to be chosen as the closest estimate based on an unspecified calculation or context provided in the question.
