Problem 3-10
Times-Interest-Earned Ratio

The Morris Corporation has $850,000 of debt outstanding, and it pays an interest rate of 8% annually. Morris's annual sales are $3.4 million, its average tax rate is 40%, and its net profit margin on sales is 3%. If the company does not maintain a TIE ratio of at least 5 to 1, its bank will refuse to renew the loan and bankruptcy will result. What is Morris's TIE ratio? Round intermediate calculations to two decimal places. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Sales/total assets 1.9 Return on assets (ROA) 3% Return on equity (ROE) 9%

Explanation / Answer

Problem 3-6

1. Given, ROA = 9%, Profit Margin = 3%, Return on Equity = 13%

ROA = Net Income / Total Assets,

Assets =1, Net Income = 0.09, Sales = 0.09 / 3 x 100 = 3, Equity = 0.09 / 13 x 100 = 0.69

Calculation of Total Assets Turnover = Sales / Total Assets

Assets Turnover = 3 / 1 = 3Times

Equity Multiplier = Total Assets/ Equity

Equtiy Multiplier = 1 / 0.69 = 1.45

2. Given, Current Ratio = 2.5, Quick Ratio = 2, Current Assets = 7,000,000

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

2.5 = 7,000,000 / X = $2,800,000

Current Liabilites = $2,800,000

Calculation of Level of Inventories:

Quick Ratio = Quick Assets (Current Assets - Inventories) / Current Liabilities

2 = X / 2,800,000 = $5,600,000

Inventories = Total Current Assets - Quick Assets

Inventories = 7,000,000 - 5,600,000 = $1,400,000

Problem 3-8

3. Given, Sales= 1.9, Total Assets= 1, Return on Assets = 3%, ROE =9%

Net Income = 1 x 3% = 0.03, Equity = 0.03 /9 x 100 = 0.33, Liabilities = Total Assets- Equity = 1 - 0.33 = 0.67

Debt = 0.67 / 2 =0.33

Profit Margin = 0.03 / 1.9 x 100 = 1.58%

Liabilties to Assets Ratio = 0.67 / 1 = 67%

Debt to Assets Ratio = 0.33 / 1 =33%

Problem 3-9

4. Given, Current Assets = $1,650,000, Current Liabilties = $550,000, Inventories= $330,000

Current Ratio = 1,650,000 / 550,000 = 3

Target Current Ratio = 1.3

Difference between CA and CL at Target Ratio Level = 0.3

Liablities at Target Ratio = 1,100,000 /0.3 =$3,666,667

Assets = 3,666,667 x 1.3 =$4,766,667

Short Term Debt can be Increased by = $3,116,667

Inventory = 3,116,667 + 330,000 = $3,446,667

Quick Ratio = Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilites

Quick ratio = 1,320,000 / 3,666,667 = 0.36

Problem 3-10

5. Given, Debt = 850,000, Interest = 850,000 x 8% =$68,000, Sales = 3,400,000,

Profit on Sales= 3,400,000 x 3% =$ 102,000, tax Rate= 40%

Times- Interest Earned Ratio = EBIT / Interest

Times Interest Earned Ratio = 102,000 / 68,000 = 1.5 Times

So, Bank will not give loan because ratio is below required Ratio.
