Explanation / Answer

Answer A.:

Total Liabilities = Current Liabilities + Long term debt
Total Liabilities = $3,142,000 + $3,714,000
Total Liabilities

= $6,856,000

Total Assets = $11,281,780

Total Debt Ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets
Total Debt Ratio = $6,856,000 / $11,281,780
Total Debt Ratio = 0.6077 or 60.77%

Answer B:

Total Debt = Current Liabilities + Long term debt
Total Debt = $3,142,000 + $3,714,000
Total Debt = $6,856,000

Total stockholders equity = $4,425,780

Debt-to-equity ratio = Total Debt / Total stockholders’ equity
Debt-to-equity ratio = $6,856,000 / $4,425,780
Debt-to-equity ratio = 1.55

Answer C:

EBIT = $1,724,950
Interest Expense = $300,400

Times interest earned ratio = EBIT / Interest Expense
Times interest earned ratio = $1,724,950 / $300,400
Times interest earned ratio = 5.74 times
