| Fixed Cost | 8600 | 
| EBIT | $1,300 | 
| Interest(@10%) | 500 | 
| EBT | $800 | 
| Tax (@40%) | 320 | 
| EAT | $480 | 
| Number of shares | 20,000 | 
| CM (to two decimal places) | |
| SB/E (to the nearest dollar) | $ | 
| DFL | |
| DOL | |
| DTL | 
| EPS (using DTL) | $ | 
| EPS (using modified income statement) | $ | 
Ans.
| Sales | $ 16,000.00 | 
| Less : Variable Cost | $ (6,100.00) | 
| Contribution | $ 9,900.00 | 
| Less: Fixed Cost | $ (8,600.00) | 
| EBIT | $ 1,300.00 | 
| Less : Interest | $ (500.00) | 
| EBT | $ 800.00 | 
| Less : Taxes | $ (320.00) | 
| Net Income | $ 480.00 | 
a)
Contribution Margin = Contribution / Sales = $ 9,900 / $ 16,000 = 0.61875 = 0.62
Break Even Sales ( Dollars) = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin = $8,600 / 0.61875 = $ 13,899
b)
Degree of Financial Leverage = EBIT / EBT = $ 1,300 / $800 = 1.625 or 1.63
Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution / EBIT = $ 9,900 / $ 1,300 = 7.61538 or 7.62
Degree of Total Leverage = DOL * DFL = Contribution / EBIT * EBIT / EBT = Contribution / EBT = $ 9,900 / 800 = 12.375.
c)
Current EPS = Net Income / Number of Shares = $ 480 / 20,000 = 0.024
If sales declined by 25%
EPS (Using DTL) = 309.375% [( DTL * 25% ) = 12.375 * 25%] decrease in EPS i.e $ 0.024 - 309.375% = - $ 0.05025
