Interest cover? That's easy, I got this! I'm going to go with option B, it just seems like the most logical choice. Hey, did you hear about the accountant who got hit by a car? He had a balance sheet.

Ah, this is a tricky one. I need to make sure I have the formula right. Maybe I should use a calculator to double-check my work. Better safe than sorry, you know?

Wait, isn't the interest cover just the operating profit divided by the interest expense? I think I'm going to go with option C, that seems like the most reasonable answer based on the information provided.

I think you're right, interest cover is calculated by dividing operating profit by interest expense.

Hmm, let me think about this. I'm pretty sure the interest cover is calculated by dividing the operating profit by the interest expense. This should give us a good indication of the company's ability to cover its interest payments.
