Hi!

On Question 53.7, the answer for the PBT is 9811,54 which I assume to be calculated in the following way:

Sales                   -     60006

COGS                  -     49506,96    ( = 274 x 180,68)

Gross Profit       -   104499,04

Financial Costs  -         687,5      ( = 110000 x 7,5%/12)

PBT                      -      9811,54

Why wasn't the depreciation expense in the 3 months, including the new equipment (14 424 €) not included in the PBT?
