Solution :
a). Asset turnover ratio = total sales / total asset = 3.50
Total asset = 40 million / 3.5 = 1142857
Total debt = 2.50 million
Therefore, the debt ratio = [tex]$\frac{\text{debt}}{\text{total asset}}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{2500000}{1142857}$[/tex]
= 2.18
b). Time interest earned ratio = EBIT/Interest
EBIT = net sales - operating expense
= 40,000,000 - 18,000,000
= $ 22,000,000
Interest expense = 10 % x 2,500,000
= $ 250,000
Times interest earned ratio = EBIT/ interest expense
= [tex]$\frac{\$ 22,000,000}{\$250,000}$[/tex]
= 88 times
c). Total equity = total asset - total debt
= 400,000,000 - 2,500,000
= 397,500,000
Money raised from the creditor for each dollar of equity
= 2,500,000/397,500,000
= 6%
