To analyze a company's financial leverage situation, you need to measure the firm's debt management ratios. Based on the preceding information, what are the values for Blue Sky Drone's debt management ratios?

SOLUTION

values for Blue Sky Drone's debt management ratios is the debt ratio and Times-interest-earned ratio

Given from the information

total debt = $1.75 million

net annual sales = $40 million

total asset turnover ratio = 3.50x

operating expenses = $18 million

interest rate =7% = 0.07

There to calculate the Debt Ratio:

total debt/(net annual sales / total asset turnover ratio)

$1.75 million/($40 million/3.50x) = .1531

=15.31%

To calculate the Times-interest-earned ratio

(net annual sales - operating expenses) ÷ (total debt × interest rate)

$40 million - $18 million = $22 million

$1.75 million x .07 = $122,500

$22 million/$122,500

= 179.59x
