Expert Solution

14). Computation of the time interest earned ratio:-

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) = Net income + Income tax expenses + Interest expenses

= $400,000 + $140,000 + $60,000

= $600,000

Times interest earned ratio = EBIT / Interest expenses

= $600,000 / $60,000

= 10. times

 

15). Computation of the after-tax return on stockholder's equity:-

Average stockholder's equity = (Beginning stockholder's equity + Ending stockholder's equity) / 2

= ($1,900,000 + $2,100,000) / 2

= $4,000,000 / 2

= $2,000,000

After tax return on equity = Net income after tax / Average stockholder's equity

= $400,000 / $2,000,000

= 20%
