As the chief financial officer of Adirondack Designs, you have the following information:

a$.$ Calculate Adirondack$$s times$-$interest$-$earned ratio for next year assuming the firm raises $$48$ million of new debt at an interest rate of $4$ percent.

b$.$ Calculate Adirondack$$s times$-$burden$-$covered ratio for n

c$.$ Calculate next year$$s earnings per share assuming Adirondack raises the $$48$ million of new debt.

d$.$ Calculate next year$$s times$-$interest$-$earned ratio, times$-$burden$-$covered ratio, and earnings per share if Adirondack sells $1\mathrm{.}3$ million new shares at $$23$ a share instead of raising new debt.

Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Earnings per share" answers to $2$ decimal places and other answers to $1$ decimal place.
