Answer:

3.96

Explanation:

A company's Time Interest Earned ratio shows us its ability to pay its debts.

The income before expenses is given as: $575000

The interest expenses = $145000

The question wants us to find time interest earned ratio. We get this by:

Company's initial income/interest expenses

= $575,000/$145,000

= 3.96
