Explanation / Answer

Answer a.

Debt-to-equity Ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Stockholders’ Equity
Debt-to-equity Ratio = $2,230,000 / $4,000,000
Debt-to-equity Ratio = 0.56

Answer b.

Earnings before interest and tax = Net Income + Interest Expense + Income Tax Expense
Earnings before interest and tax = $526,500 + $118,000 + $233,500
Earnings before interest and tax = $878,000

Times Interest Earned Ratio = Earnings before interest and tax / Interest Expense
Times Interest Earned Ratio = $878,000 / $118,000
Times Interest Earned Ratio = 7.44 times

Answer c.

Operating Cash Flow to Capital Expenditures Ratio = Cash Provided by Operating Activities / Capital Expenditures
Operating Cash Flow to Capital Expenditures Ratio = $425,000 / $320,000
Operating Cash Flow to Capital Expenditures Ratio = 1.33
