Answer #1

(1) Formula for Times interest earned is:

Times interest earned = Earnings before interest and taxes / Net income

Given: Earnings before interest and taxes = $1885000, Interest expense = $145000

Putting these values in the above formula, we get,

Times interest earned = $1885000 / $145000 = 13

(2) Park's times interest earned is 13 while its competitor's times interest earned is 4, it means that Park is in better position than its competitor's, because Park's times earned is higher. It means that Park has 13 times more earnings available to pay its interest payments as compared to its competitor's who has only 4 times earnings are available.
