Refer to the following selected financial information from graphics, inc. compute the company's times interest earned. interest expense 9,100income tax expense 22,700net income after tax 56,500

9.70 times

Explanation:

The formula and the calculation of the times interest earned ratio is computed below:

Times interest earned ratio = (Earnings before interest and taxes) ÷ (Interest expense)

where,  

Earnings before interest and taxes = Net income after tax + interest expense + income tax expense

=$56,500 + $9,100 + $22,700

= $88,300

And, the interest expense is $9,100

Now place these values in the formula above,

so the ratio would be equal to

= $88,300 ÷ $9,100

= 9.70 times
