Question

The Morrit Corporation has $1,080,000 of debt outstanding, and it pays an interest rate of 11% annually. Morrit's annual sales are $6 million, its average tax rate is 25%, and its net profit margin on sales is 3%. If the company does not maintain a TIE ratio of at least 6 to 1, then its bank will refuse to renew the loan, and bankruptcy will result. What is Morrit's TIE ratio?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.020

Explanation:

Morrit Corporation

interest amount = $1,080,000*.11 = $118,800

Net profit = 3% *$6,000,000= $180,000

Net profit + tax = profit before tax =

180000/.75 = 240000

Profit before tax + Interest = Earning before interest and tax

= $240,000+$118,800 = $358,800

TIE ratio= EBIT/Interest = $358,800/118,800

= 3.020

Therefore the TIE ratio is 3.020
