11. | Interest Coverage Ratio | Interest coverage ratio can be classified as a Solvency Ratio―which helps to understand if the organization is solvent and whether there are any near threats pertaining to bankruptcy.

The lower the interest coverage ratio implies the higher the bank’s debt burden and the greater the chance of bankruptcy or default. The higher the interest coverage ratio represents the less the chance of default. | Interest Coverage Ratio = EBIT/Interest Expenses |
