Answer:

A) long-term debt and times interest earned

Explanation:

The long term debt ratio and the TIE ratio are used by mortgage companies to predict a client's ability to repay a long term loan.

The long term debt ratio measures the amount of total long term debt to the value of an individual's total assets (net worth). It is calculated by dividing total long term debt by total assets.

The times interest earned (TIE) ratio measures the long term solvency of a debtor. It is calculated by dividing the amount of income that can be used to pay debts by the total long term debts. E.g. a company's TIE = EBIT / interest expense, an individual's TIE = gross income / debt and interest expenses
