I feel like the answer is around 10 times, but I can't remember if it was closer to 10.7 or 11.7. I need to double-check my calculations!

I'm a bit unsure about how to interpret the financial statements. Did we need to adjust for any non-recurring items before calculating?

Okay, let's see. BPDU guard sounds like it could be the right answer, since it's specifically meant to protect the spanning tree from unauthorized devices. But I want to double-check the other options just to be sure.

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.

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.
