cash coverage ratio:

Earnings Before Interest and Taxes + Non-Cash Expenses / Interest Expense 

16,085/(1-tx) = 16,085 / 0.60 = 26,808.33 <earnings before taxes
add back interest of 3,896 and depreciation of 2,575 = 26,808.33 + 3896 + 2575 = 26,808.33

solve:
26,808.33 / 3896<int exp = 6.88
so cash was 6.88 x interest expense
