Answer: Moderate or low
Explanation:
Tests of Control are one by auditors to determine the effectiveness of the internal controls in the company in being able to detect accounting errors and anomalies.
If a company seems to have a moderate or low inherent risk the Auditors may or may not initiate Tests of Control due to this reduced risk.
If the company however, has either high or moderate or unusually high risk, the Auditors have to perform Tests of Control to determine where the company is going wrong.
Answer:
Debt ratio = 56%
Times Interest earned = 5 times
Explanation:
<em>The debt ratio is the proportion of the total assets amount that is financed by debt . It is a measure of financial risk. A company with a high debt ratio (in excess of 50%) is considered financially risky. That is may not be able to meet its short term financial obligations</em>
Debt ratio = Debt/Total assets × 100
= (140,000/250,000)× 100
= 56%
Times interest earned is the number of times the earning before interest and taxes (EBIT) can pay the interest obligation. It is a measure of financial risk. For example, a company with a ratio of less than 3 times might be considered as potentially unable to meets its loan obligation
Times interest earned = Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT)/Interest expense
= 75,000/15,000
= 5 times.
