Answer:

2.86

Explanation:

The times interest earned ratio is used basically to measure a firm's capacity to pay up it's debt. In other words, it is a covenant for loan which is primarily used by lenders to their debtors.

Times interest earned is calculated by dividing income before interest expense and income taxes by interest expense

= $200,000 / $70,000

= 2.86
