Answer:

20.63 times

Explanation:

Calculation to determine What was the cash coverage ratio for the year

First step is to calculate the Earnings before taxes

Earnings before taxes = $24,650 / (1 - .24)

Earnings before taxes = $24,650/.76

Earnings before taxes = $32,434

Second step is to calculate the Earnings before interest and taxes

Earnings before interest and taxes = $32,434 + 1,800

Earnings before interest and taxes = $34,234

Now let calculate the Cash coverage ratio

Cash coverage ratio = ($34,234 + 2,900) / $1,800

Cash coverage ratio=$37,134/$1,800

Cash coverage ratio = 20.63 times

Therefore the cash coverage ratio for the year will be 20.63 times
