Tests of solvency, which are measures of a company"s ability to meet these obligations, include the times interest earned, cash coverage, and debt-to-equity ratios. Times interest earned ratio = (net earnings + interest expense + This ratio compares the earnings that a company generated during one period before deducting interest and income tax expense to its interest expense for the same period. It represents a margin of protection for creditors. The company generated nearly in earnings before interest and taxes for each of interest expense. Analysts believe the ratio is flawed because interest expense and other obligations are paid in cash, not with net earnings, so they prefer to use the cash coverage ratio.
