Answer:

3.60

Explanation:

Given that,

Interest paid = $11,310

Dividend paid last year = $16,500

Times interest earned ratio = 2.9

Depreciation expense = $7,900

Tax rate = 35 percent

Times interest earned ratio = EBIT ÷ Interest expense

2.9 = EBIT ÷ $11,310

2.9 × $11,310 = EBIT

$32,799 = EBIT

Cash coverage ratio:

= (EBIT + Depreciation) ÷ Interest expense

= ($32,799 + $7,900) ÷ $11,310

= $40,699 ÷ $11,310

= 3.60
