ans 1
debt ratio = total debt/total assets where total debt = long term debt + short term debt
(1884700 + 5600)/6277700 = 0.30.This indicvates that 30% of the assets are provided by total debt
intererst bearing debt ratio = long term debt/equity= 1884700/3162000 = 0.60
ans 2
interest coverage ratio = EBIT/interest= 1657300/53000= 31.27 times
This means the company has $o.60 debt for every $ of equity. The company is having higher financial leverage and therefor higher risk as compared to sigma pharmaceuticals, which is a zero debt company
EBITDA coverage ratio=EBITDA/(interest payments+ principal repayments)
1657300 /( 53000+ 200000)= 1657300/ 253000= 6.55 times
