Introduction: The net income refers to that part of income which is generated after subtracting all expenses such as cost of goods sold and other non-operating expenses, depreciation and taxes.
The time's interest earned refers to the ratio of income before interest and taxes to interest earned.
To comment: On the result for interest earned by both the companies and for part 3 to 8.
Explanation of Solution
Comments on times interest earned by both the companies are:
For company E:
The time's interest earned by company E is 1.3 times which is lesser than 2.5 times this indicates that it is difficult for the company to meet its debt and to invest in the company is riskier from the investor's point of view.
For company S:
The time's interest earned by company E is 2times which lesser than 2.5 times but the situation is better than company S, this indicates the riskier to invest in the company from an investor point of view.
Comments on the fixed cost strategies for the company The company fixed cost does not affect the net income as the sales increase but when sales start decreasing the net income is falling down and lead to losses for the company. Thus the company should increase sales or maintain sales to generate profit for the firm.
