A firm has sales of $4,740, costs of $2,540, interest paid of $169, and depreciation of $473. The tax rate is 35 percent. What is the cash coverage ratio?
Earnings before Interest & Taxes(EBIT) = Sales - Costs - Depreciation
EBIT = $4740 - $2540 - $473
EBIT = $1727
- Cash Coverage Ratio = (EBIT + Non-Cash expenses)/Interest Expenses
where, Non-Cash expenses = Depreciation = $473
Cash Coverage Ratio = ($1727 + $473)/$169
Cash Coverage Ratio = 13.02 times
