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

The correct answer in the statement above is letter C, keeping sentences uniform in length. It is because this will motivate readers to read if the sentences has the right amount of words where they could understand enough and to get them reading. If it is too short, they won't understand what they're reading and if it is too long, it will only make them find less interest in what they are reading, that is why it is important to make it uniform in length for it to be readable.
