I'm not sure, but I think it might be 3.5 times. The interest cover calculation can vary depending on the interpretation of the financial data.

Hmm, 4.5 times? That seems a bit high. I double-checked the numbers and got 3.5 times. Must be option D.

Let's see, interest cover is calculated as profit before interest and tax divided by interest expense. Based on the numbers given, I got 4.5 times. That's option C.
