If degree of operating leverage is 1.5 and degree of combined leverage is 3.5 than what degree of financial leverage
Answers
Answer:
Formula and Calculation of Degree of Operating Leverage
\begin{aligned} &DOL = \frac{\% \text{ change in }EBIT}{\% \text{ change in sales}} \\ &\textbf{where:}\\ &EBIT=\text{earnings before income and taxes}\\ \end{aligned}DOL=% change in sales% change in EBITwhere:EBIT=earnings before income and taxes
There are a number of alternative ways to calculate the DOL, each based on the primary formula given above:
\text{Degree of operating leverage} = \frac{\text{change in operating income}}{\text{changes in sales}}Degree of operating leverage=changes in saleschange in operating income
\text{Degree of operating leverage} = \frac{\text{contribution margin }}{\text{operating income}}Degree of operating leverage=operating incomecontribution margin
\text{Degree of operating leverage} = \frac{\text{sales -- variable costs}}{\text{sales -- variable costs -- fixed costs}}Degree of operating leverage=sales – variable costs – fixed costssales – variable costs
\text{Degree of operating leverage} = \frac{\text{contribution margin percentage}}{\text{operating margin}}Degree of operating leverage=operating margincontribution margin percentage
