    According to the question, profit before tax is $16,250 and that figure is arrived at after having deducted Finance costs – loan note interest $1,750)

    And we want the figure Profit BEFORE interest and tax

    So we have to add back the loan interest of $1,750 and we arrive at $18,000

    Does that answer it?
