    Option (A) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Times-interest-earned ratio refers to the ratio of Earning before interest and taxes to the interest expenses.

    Times interest earned ratio:

    = Earning before interest and taxes : Interest expenses

    = (Income Before Income Taxes + Interest Expense) : Interest expenses

    = ($45,000 + $1000) : $1000

    = 46 times
