Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a)  Liabilities to equity ratio is

= $200 ÷ ($500 - $200)

= 0.667

Times interest earned ratio is

= EBIT ÷ Interest expense

= $120 ÷ $28

= 4.285

Times burden covered is

= EBIT ÷  (Interest +Principal repayment ÷ ( 1 -tax rate))

= 120 ÷ (28+24 ÷ (1-0.4))

= 1.764

b)

Interest paying requirements  

= ($128 - $20) ÷ 120

= 76.7%

Principal and interest requirements  

= [$120 - ($28 + $24 ÷ (1-0.4))] ÷ 120

= 0.433 or 43.3%

Principal, Interest and Common dividend payments -

= [$120 - ($28 + (($24 + 0.3 × 20) ÷ (1 - 0.4))] ÷ 120

= 0.35 or 35%
