From the following details, calculate interest coverage ratio: Net Profit after tax Rs. 1,20,000; 15% Long-term debt 20,00,000; and Tax rate 40%.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Profit before tax =1,20,0001−0.40=2,00,000= \frac{1,20,000}{1 - 0.40} = 2,00,000.

Interest on debt =20,00,000×15%=3,00,000= 20,00,000 \times 15\% = 3,00,000.

Net profit before interest and tax =2,00,000+3,00,000=5,00,000= 2,00,000 + 3,00,000 = 5,00,000.

Interest Coverage Ratio =5,00,0003,00,000=1.67= \frac{5,00,000}{3,00,000} = 1.67 times.
