Depreciation expense = 12,564

Explanation:

Addition to retained earnings is basically net income. Starting with this, we can calculate tax expense i. e 1,871 (4,365/0.7*0.3). As tax rate is 30% so net income left would be 70%. After determining tax amount we can easily calculate depreciation expense by reverse working which is as below:

Net income 4,365

Add:Tax 1,871

Add:Interest 1,200

Add: Cost 10,000

Less: Sales - 30,000

Depreciation 12,564
