Explanation / Answer

Earnings before interest and tax = Sales - variable costs - fixed costs - depreciation

Earnings before interest and tax = [( 12,000 * 14) - ( 12,000 * 7) - 36,000 - 30,000]

Earnings before interest and tax = [ 168,000 - 84,000 - 36,000 - 30,000]

Earnings before interest and tax = 18,000
