Answer: 1. 18 times
2. Park is in better position
Explanation:
1. Times interest earned is a financial ratio that measures interest coverage. It's essentially to check if a company can pay it's debt payments and is calculated by either EBIT or EBITDA divided by the total interest expense. The higher the better and anything above 2.5 times is usually considered.
Calculating would therefore be,
= $6,120,000 /$340,000
= 18 times.
2. As mentioned in the first answer, for the Times interest earned, the higher it is, the more favourable it is. So Park Company will be considered safer and are most definitely in a better or worse position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad. The fact that theirs is 18 means that they can pay off their interest expense 5 times more than their competitor who can only repay 12 times.

Answer:
$35,000
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Accounts Receivable at the start of the year = $6,000
Accounts Receivable at the end of the year = $9,000
Revenues for the period = $38,000
Now,
cash collected from the customers
= Beginning balance + Revenue for the year - Ending balance of account receivable
= $6,000 + $38,000 - $9,000
= $35,000
The answer that fits the blank above would be BALANCE SHEET AND INCOME STATEMENT. The balance sheet serves the copy of the liabilities and assets that a company or firm has recorded for a specific period of time. On the other hand, the income statement shows both the profit and loss that the company has. Therefore, it is based on these two that financial managers are able to calculate ratios.
