    Very Simple Math
    Culver Inc. has earnings after interest but before taxes of $300. The company's times interest earned ratio is 7.00. Calculate the company's interest charges.


    Here,
    Time Interest Earned (TIE) is 7
    Formula for TIE is EBIT/I

    We take Interest as X for our calculation purpose:

    Putting into the formula as above:

    7 = [EBT 300 + X] / X

    So, 7X = 300 + X

    7X - X = 300

    6X = 300

    X = 300/6

    Or, X = 50


    So, Interest Charges were 50. (The Final Answer you are looking for)


    Now to prove,

    EBT 300
    Interest 50
    EBIT 350


    So, Interest Cover is: EBIT/Interest

    or 350/50 = 7

    Clear??
