Paid-in capital in excess of par 860,000 870,000
Retained earnings 2,980,000 2,360,000

The income before income tax was $434,000 and $382,200 for the years 2010 and 2009, respectively.
a. Determine the ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity at the end of each year. Round to one decimal place.

Dec. 31, 2010:
Dec. 31, 2009:

Dec 31, 2010 = Total liabilities/Total Equity = (168,000+240,000+1,160,000)/(80,000+860,000+2,980,000) = 0.40
Dec 31, 2009 = (178,000+260,000+1,560,000)/(100,000+870,000+2,360,000) = 0.60
b. Determine the number of times the bond interest charges are earned during the year for both years. Round to one decimal place.

Dec. 31, 2010:
Dec. 31, 2009:

Number of times bond interest charges are earned = Income before tax + interest/interest
Dec 31, 2010 - Interest amount = (240,000+1,160,000) X 10% = 140,000
Number of times = (434,000+140,000)/140,000 = 4.1 times
Dec 31, 2009 - Interest amount = ...
