The EBITDA coverage ratio, which incorporates consideration of noncash expenses(depreciation) in the numerator as well as the repayment of principal in the denominator, will increase to 8.20 from6.84 if equity is used and fall to 3.08 if debt is used.To complete our benchmark analysis, we need to compare the above leverage ratios to the following com-parable firm ratios:Comparable Firm RatioDebt ratio40%Interest-bearing debt ratio30%Times interest earned ratio22 timesEBITDA coverage ratio6 times
