Answer: GAMA Corp. has a lower times interest earned (TIE) ratio
Explanation:
The times interest earned (TIE) ratio simply means how the ability of a company to meet its debt obligations is being measured based on the current income that the company has.
Since GAMA Corp. has a higher debt to asset ratio and, therefore, a higher interest expense, it simply means that GAMA Corp. has a lower times interest earned (TIE) ratio when compared to FAMA Corp.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
