Interest = $1250000

Explanation:

We know that:

EBIT

interest (-)

=earnings before taxes

tax (-)

=Net profit

EBIT = 6250000

Interest=?

t = 0,35

Net profit = 3250000

interest = [netprofit / (1-t) ] - EBIT

interest = (3250000/0,65) - 6250000

interest = 1250000

Tax = (EBIT-interest) * 0,35 = 1750000
