32 Bond Rating Is considered from debt-to-assets ratio Y10 = 0.46 ( 0.50 have progressive negative impact; >0.65 results in BB or worse) The times-interest-earned coverage ratio Y10 = 3.25 (ratio of 2.0 is considered minimum) The strategic risk factor (> 7 negative) If Bond rating = C; no further debt would be allowed.
