    Explanation:

    The times interest earned is the number of times the net income or earnings before interest and taxes can be used to settle the interest expense of an entity.

    This financial measure is given as the ratio of the earnings before interest and taxes to the interest accrued.

    Given that

    Sales = $645,560

    cost of goods sold = $425,890,

    depreciation = $32,450,

    and interest expense of $12,500

    Earnings before interest and tax = $645,560 - $425,890 - $32,450

    = $187,220

    The times interest earned ratio

    = $187,220 / $12,500

    = 14.98
