₹1,20,000

₹3,00,000

Correct Answer:

₹2,80,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1- ₹2,80,000.

In situation 1, there is no debt in total ₹30 lakh funds so there is no interest payment.

         EBIT = 4,00,000 
less: Interest = NIL
         EBT 4,00,000 (Earnings before taxes)
less: Tax 1,20,000 
         EAT 2,80,000

Thus, Earning after tax is ₹2,80,000.
