Interest earned ________ times
EBIT = Sales - cost of goods sold - depreciation expense - other operating expense
= $3,700,000 - $550,000 - $140,000 - $290,000
= $2,720,000
Net income = Addition to retained earnings + Dividends
= $1,766,625 + ($1 * 80,000)
= $1,846,625
EBT = Net income / (1 - tax rate)
= $1,846,625 / (1 - 21%)
= $2,337,500
Interest earned ratio = EBIT / (EBIT - EBT)
= $2,720,000 / ($2,720,000 - $2,337,500)
= $2,720,000 / $382,500
= 7.11
Interest earned ratio = 7.11 times.
Interest earned ratio = 7.11 times.
