Answer:
TIE ratio = 3.962
Explanation:
given data
debt outstanding = $900000
rate = 9 %
annual sales = $6 million
average tax rate = 25%
net profit margin = 3%
TIE ratio = 6 to 1
solution
first we get here interest amount that is here express as
interest amount = 900000 × 0.09
interest amount  = 81000
and
net profit will be 3 % of 6 million
net profit = 180000
so here net profit + tax will be
net profit + tax = profit before tax
net profit + tax  = 180000 ÷ (1-0.25)
net profit + tax  = 240000
and
profit before tax + interest = earning before interest and tax
profit before tax + interest  = 81000+240000
profit before tax + interest  = 321000
and
TIE ratio will be
TIE ratio  = EBIT ÷ Interest
TIE ratio  = 321000 ÷ 81000
TIE ratio = 3.962
