Safari Inc. has profit before tax of Rs.90 million. If the company's times interest
covered ratio is 4, what is the total interest charge?

Solution:
PBT

Rs.90 million
PBIT

Times interest covered =

= 4
Interest

So PBIT = 4 x Interest
PBT = PBIT interest
= 4 x interest - interest = 3 x interest = 90 million
Therefore interest = 90/3 = Rs.30 million
9.

A has profit before tax of Rs.40 million. If its times interest covered ratio is 6, what
is the total interest charge?

Solution:
PBT

Rs. 40 million
PBIT

Times interest covered =

= 6
Interest

So PBIT = 6 x Interest
PBIT Interest = PBT = Rs.40 million
6 x Interest Interest = Rs. 40 million
5 x Interest

= Rs.40 million

Hence Interest = Rs.8 million

McGill Inc. has profit before tax of Rs.63 million. If the company's times interest
covered ratio is 8, what is the total interest charge?

Solution:
PBT

Rs.63 million
PBIT

Times interest covered =

= 8
Interest

So PBIT = 8 x Interest
PBIT Interest = PBT = Rs.63 million
8 x Interest Interest = 7 x Interest = Rs.63 million
Hence Interest

= Rs.9 million

The following data applies to a firm:


Interest charges
Sales
Tax rate
Net profit margin

Rs.200,000
Rs.6,000,000
40 percent
5 percent

What is the firm's times interest covered ratio?


Solution:
Sales = Rs.6,000,000
Net profit margin = 5 per cent

Net profit = Rs.6,000,000 x 0.05 = 300,000


Tax rate = 40 per cent
300,000
So, Profit before tax =
= Rs.500,000
(1-.4)
Interest charge

= Rs.200,000

So Profit before interest and taxes = Rs.700,000


Hence
Times interest covered ratio =

700,000
= 3.5
200,000

The following data applies to a firm:


Interest charges
Sales
Tax rate
Net profit margin

Rs.50,000
Rs.300,000
25 percent
3 percent

What is the firm's times interest covered ratio?


Solution:
Sales = Rs.300,000
Net profit margin

3 per cent

Net profit = Rs.300,000 x 0.03 = 9,000


Tax rate

25 per cent
9,000

So,

Profit before tax =

= Rs.12,000
(1-.25)

Interest charge

Rs.50,000

So Profit before interest and taxes = Rs.62,000


Hence
Times interest covered ratio =
13.

62,000
= 1.24

The following data applies to a firm:

Tax rate

Rs.10,000,000
Rs.80,000,000

Net profit margin


10 percent
What is the firm's times interest covered ratio?

Solution:
Sales = Rs.80,000,000
Net profit margin = 10 per cent
Net profit = Rs.80,000,000 x 0.1 = 8,000,000
Tax rate

= 50 per cent
8,000,000

So,

Profit before tax =

Interest charge

= Rs.16,000,000

(1-.5)
= Rs.10,000,000

So Profit before interest and taxes = Rs.26,000,000


Hence
26,000,000
Times interest covered ratio =
= 2.6

A firm's current assets and current liabilities are 25,000 and 18,000 respectively.
How much additional funds can it borrow from banks for short term, without
reducing
the current ratio below 1.35?

Solution:
CA = 25,000 CL = 18,000
Let BB stand for bank borrowing
CA+BB
=

1.35

CL+BB
25,000+BB
=

1.35

18,000+BB
1.35x 18,000 + 1.35 BB = 25,000 + BB
0.35BB = 25,000- 24,300 = 700
BB = 700/0.35 = 2,000

LNGs current assets and current liabilities are 200,000 and 140,000 respectively.
How much additional funds can it borrow from banks for short term, without
reducing the current ratio below 1.33?

Solution:
CA = 200,000 CL = 140,000
Let BB stand for bank borrowing
CA+BB
=

1.33

200,000+BB
=
140,000+BB

1.33

CL+BB

1.33 x 140,000 + 1.33BB = 200,000 + BB


0.33 BB = 200,000- 186,200 = 13,800
BB =13,800/0.33 = 41,818

without reducing the current ratio below 1.4?

Solution:
CA = 10,000,000

CL = 7,000,,000

Let BB stand for bank borrowing


CA+BB
=

CL+BB
10,000,000+BB

Solution:
Debt/equity = 0.80
Equity = 80,000 + 50,000 = 130,000
So Debt = Short-term bank borrowings = 0.8 x 130,000
Hence Total assets = 130,000+104,000 = 234,000
Total assets turnover ratio = 2

= 104,000

So Sales = 2 x 234,000 = 468,000


Gross profit margin = 30 per cent
So Cost of goods sold = 0.7 x 468,000 = 327,600

Solution:

Equity = 160,000,000 + 30,000,000 = 190,000,000
So Debt = Short-term bank borrowings = 0.4 x 190,000,000

= 76,000,000

Hence Total assets = 190,000,000+ 76,000,000 = 266,000,000


Total assets turnover ratio = 2.5
So Sales = 2.5 x 266,000,000 = 665,000,000
Gross profit margin = 25 per cent
So Cost of goods sold = 0.75 x 665,000,000 = 498,750,000

Debt/equity = 1.5
Equity = 600,000 + 100,000 = 700,000
So Debt = Short-term bank borrowings =1.5 x 700,000

= 1050,000

Hence Total assets = 700,000+1050,000 = 1,750,000


Total assets turnover ratio = 1.9
So Sales = 1.9 x 1,750,000 = 3,325,000
Gross profit margin = 28 per cent
So Cost of goods sold = 0.72 x 3,325,000 = 2,394,000
