b. False

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

TIE means times interest earned, whose formula is provided below:

Times interest earned=EBIT/interest expense

With the above formula, we can determine the EBIT (earnings before interest and tax)

Depending on the company's cost structure, when  the operating costs are added to EBIT, the result would be the company's sales revenue

EBIT=Sales revenue-operating costs

Sales revenue=EBIT+operating costs
