| HomeStyle Bakery | Sweet and Sassy’s |

Interest Expense | 35,000 | 47,508 |
Operating Income | 20,550 | 375,090 |
Instructions
a. Compute for each company (1) the debt ratio and (2) the interest coverage ratio. (Round the debt ratio to the nearest percent and the interest coverage ratio to two decimal places.)
b. In your opinion, which of these companies would a long-term creditor probably view as the safer investment? Explain.
I would feel safer investing in HomeStyle Bakery as it has a lower debt ratio, and although Sweetand Sassy has a higher interest coverage ratio, this is an indication that the firm can cover its interest obligations, but not its debt obligations. A high debt ratio can be dangerous as it exposes the company to the threat of bankruptcy if it cannot meet its obligations.
