Explanation / Answer

a. Current year:

Times interest earned ratio = ($193,200 + $46,000) / $46,000 = 5.2

Preceding year:

Times interest earned ratio = ($120,000 + $50,000) / $50,000 = 3.4

b.

Although Calber company had enough earnings to pay interest in the preceding year, the improvement in this ratio will be welcomed by the debtholders.
