Times Interest Earned = EBIT / Interest Expense

in this case EBIT = $ (400000+140000+60000) = $600000

Therefore, times interest earned would be600,000 /60,000 =10 Times

Also known as Interest Coverage Ratio

Option C is correct answer >>>

Income before Tax was=600000 (Tax+Interst+Net Income after tax)

So, Interst X100/Income before tax & Interst paid

60000 x100 /600000=10%
