Answer:

C. 4.00

Explanation:

The interest coverage ratio is the same as times interest earned.

It is a the financial ratio that shows how many times over the income or earnings before interest and tax can be used to pay the interest payable in the same period.

Hence, Interest coverage

= Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) / Interest expense

EBIT = $580,000 - $350,000 - $45,000 - $90,000 -$15,000

= $80,000

The company's interest coverage ratio is

= $80,000/$20,000

= 4.00
