Answer:
Explanation:
As we know that time interest earned ratio = Income before interest and taxes / interest expense.
Sales = 546000
less: cost of goods sold = (244410)
Gross profit 301590
Less: expenses
Depreciation expense =( 61900 )
Profit before interest and taxes 239690
Less: tax
(239690 * 23%) = (55128)
Profit 184562
Profit - Retained earning Addition = Interest
184562 - 74300 = 110262.
Interest earned ratio = 239690 / 110262 = 2.17 times
