Rohan Ltd has an interest coverage ratio of 4 times. Its EBIT is Rs 12,00,000 and the tax rate is 25%. What is its profit after tax (in Rs)?

Profit after tax is Rs 6,75,000. Interest equals EBIT of Rs 12,00,000 divided by coverage of 4, which is Rs 3,00,000. Profit before tax is Rs 9,00,000, and after deducting 25% tax of Rs 2,25,000 the profit after tax is Rs 6,75,000.

  1. ARs 9,00,000
  2. BRs 6,75,000Correct
  3. CRs 8,00,000
  4. DRs 9,75,000

Explanation

Interest = EBIT ÷ coverage = 12,00,000 ÷ 4 = 3,00,000. EBT = 12,00,000 − 3,00,000 = 9,00,000. Tax at 25% = 2,25,000, so PAT = 6,75,000. Rs 9,00,000 is EBT, ignoring tax.
