    5.1

    Explanation:

    Times interest earned ratio can be described as the ability of an organisation to make their debt payment within the stipulated period of time

    The formular for calculating Times interest earned ratio is

    = Earnings before interest and tax/Total interest payable

    The interest exsense can be calculated as follows

    Interest expense = $826,000*10/100

    = $82,600

    Since the income generated before income tax is $342,000

    The time interest earned ratio is calculated as follows

    = $342,000 + $82,600/$82,600

    = $424,600/$82,600

    = 5.14

    = 5.1 (rounded to 1 decimal place)

    Hence the Times interest earned ratio is 5.1
