Sagot :

Answer:

a. $8.0 million; $1.22 million

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Basic earnings power = EBIT ÷ total assets

So,

EBIT = Basic earnings power × total assets

= 0.20 × 40 million

= $8 million

Now

Times interest earned = EBIT ÷ interest expense

So,  

Interest expense = EBIT ÷ Times interest earned

= $8 million ÷ 6.55

= $1.22 million
