    For 2019: 30.9, and for 2018: 28.3

    Explanation:

    Year Net Income Interest Expense Income Tax Expense

    2019 $3,212 $187 $2,372

    2018 $2,568 $183 $2,424

    Times interest earned ratio = earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) / interest expense

    2019 EBIT = Net Income + Interest Expense + Income Tax Expense

    2019 EBIT = $3,212 + $187 + $2,372

    2019 EBIT = $5,771

    2018 EBIT = $5,175

    Now we can finally calculate the Times interest earned ratios (TIER)

    2019 TIER = $5,771 / $187

    2019 TIER = 30.9

    2018 TIER = $5,175 / $183

    2018 TIER = 28.3
