Explanation / Answer
High level income statement is shown in table below:
Sales
$447,000
Cost of goods sold
$218,400
EBITDA
$228,600
Depreciation
$58,100
EBIT
$170,500
a.
EBIT of the company is $170,500
b.
Number of share outstanding = 32,000
Dividend per share = $1.35
Total dividend Paid =$1.35 × 32,000
= $43,200
Hence, total dividend paid is $43,200.
c.
Addition to retained earning = $50,300
Dividend paid = $43,200
Net income = $50,300 + $43,200
= $93,500
Hence, net income is $93,500
d.
Earnings before tax = $93,500 / (1- 30%)
= $133,571.43
Hence, earnings before tax is $133,571.43.
e.
Company interest payment = $170,500 - $133,571.43
= $36,928.57
Hence, interest payment is $36,928.57
f.
Time interest earned ratio = EBIT / Interest payment
= 170,500 / $36,928.57
= 4.62
Hence, Time interest earned ratio is 4.62.
