When sales decrease, the value of net income decreases. The higher fixed cost strategy of Company E is indicated by a lower value of the times interest earned ratio.

The higher fixed cost strategy works goods when there is increase in sales. Therefore, Company E enjoys has greater percent increases in the value of its net income. The Company is protected with the lower fixed cost strategy, when there is a decrease in sales level. Company S experiences smaller percent decreases in the value of net income because it has made this choice.
