    Times Interest Earned Ratio = 3.75

    Explanation:

    The firm has a debt outstanding of face value $1 million and the coupon rate is 8%.

    => The interest expense of the company could be calculate as following:

    interest expense = face value * rate = 1 million x 8% = $0.08 million = $80,000

    We have, earnings before tax and interest expense of the firms are:

    Earnings before tax and interest = Revenue - Cost - Depreciation expense = 3 million - 2.5 mllion - 200,000 = $300,000

    The times interest earned ratio of a company can be calculated with the following formula:

    Times Interest Earned Ratio = (Earnings before Tax and Interest) / Interest Expense

    = 300,000/80,000 = 3.75

    Times Interest Earned Ratio = 3.75
