    (D) 4.25.

    Explanation:

    The company's times interest earned ratio is a financial measure given as the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) divided by the total interest payable on debts.

    Times interest earned = net income before interest and tax / Interest payable

    = $38,250/$9,000

    = 4.25

    This means that the company's earnings before interest and taxes can settle its interest 4.25 times.
