Howdy fatima1102-ga,

The Investopedia.com web site gives us the formula for figuring out the
Times Interest Earned (TIE) ratio.
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/tie.asp

"Times Interest Earned = EBIT / Total Interest"

So, in your example, EBIT = 100 and we divide that by Interest = 20 to
give us Times Interest Earned = 5

If you need any clarification, please feel free to ask.


Search strategy:

Google search on: "Times Interest Earned"
