Comment on the results from requirement 3 through 8 in relation to the fixed-cost strategies of the two companies and the ratio values computed under requirement 1 and 2.
9.
Explanation of Solution
The higher fixed cost strategy of Company E shows the effect of increases and decreases in the value of sales. When sales increase, the value of net income increases. 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.
