Answer:
higher, stocks, flunctuates, risk, bonds, interest
Explanation:
The chosen responses are the best from the options provided. First, to earn a higher long-term rate of return, stocks offer a higher interest rate than bonds and the reason being that they are riskier.
Stocks belong to the owners of an organisation and as such, they are only entitled to interest after the interests of bond owners and preference stock holders have been settled. Meaning, despite the higher rates of interest offered, it is riskier to be a stock holder than a bond holder
Bond on the other hand, are not equity or company ownership units, they represent debts that the company must pay fixed interest rates on. Although we have the convertible to stock and the non-convertible bonds. However, bonds may be safer due to the fixed interest rates that must be paid but interests are lesser than stocks and irrespective of a company's profitability, a bond holder is only entitled to the fixed interest rate unlike the stock holder who enjoys higher dividends as a result of improved profitability.
Answer:
3 times
Explanation:
Times Interest earned is a financial ratio that shows how many times an entity's net income or earnings before interest and taxes can be used to settle the company's interest expense.
It is given as the ratio of earnings before interest and tax to interest expense.
Earnings before interest and taxes is the difference of sales and operating costs.
= $400,000 - $362,500
= $37,500
Hence, the firm's times-interest-earned (TIE) ratio
= $37,500/$12,500
= 3
