Answer 1

Times-interest-earned ratio will be 23.64

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given net income = $83250

Income tax expense = $29950

Interest expense = $5000

Earning before interest and tax = Net Income + Income tax expense + Interest expense

Earning before interest and tax = $83250+$29950+$5000 = $118200

Time interest earned ratio is given by

`=(Earning\  before\  interest \ and \ tax)/(interest\ expense)=(118200)/(5000)=23.64`

times-interest-earned ratio will be 23.64
