Required:
Determine the following measures for 2016, rounding to one decimal place, except for dollar amounts, which should be rounded to the nearest cent. Use the rounded answer of the requirement for subsequent requirement, if required. Assume 365 days a year.
10. Number of times interest charges are earned | fill in the blank 10 | |
11. Number of times preferred dividends are earned | fill in the blank 11 | |
12. Ratio of sales to assets | fill in the blank 12 | |
13. Rate earned on total assets % |
10.) Number of times interest charges are earned = EBIT / Interest Expense = 972,000 / 232,000 = 4.19 Times or 4.2
11.) Number of times preferred dividends are earned = Net Income / Preferred Dividends = 651,200 / 8,400 = 77.52 Times or 77.5
12.) Ratio of sales to assets = Net Sales / AverageTotal Assets = 3,876,300 / (8,455,680 + 7,315,749)/2 = 0.49 or 0.5
Note:- We can also take total assets for 2016 instead of average assets, in which case, answer would be = 3,876,300 / 8,455,680 = 0.46 or 0.5
13.) Rate earned on total assets % = EBIT / Average Total Assets * 100= 972,000 / (8,455,680 + 7,315,749)/2 * 100 = 12.33% or 12.3%
Note:- Here also we can take total assets for 2016 instead of average assets, in which case, answer would be = 972,000 / 8,455,680 *100 = 11.5 %
Alternative formulas involving use of Net Income + Interest and other such variants are also used depending on the GAAP and the country of question.
