a | Degree of Operating leverage(DOL) = % change in EBIT/% change in sales | |||
Degree of Operating leverage(DOL) = 176%/123%= 1.43 times | ||||
DOL denotes the level of business risk which is dependent on the fixed cost. Its measures the percentage change in EBIT due percentage change in the sales. In the given case DOL is 1.43 times which indicates that if sales change(increases/decreases) by 1%, then EBIT will change by 1.43%. | ||||
b | Degree of Financial leverage(DFL) = % change in EPS/% change in EBIT | |||
Degree of Financial leverage(DFL) = 402%/176%= 2.29 times | ||||
DFL denotes the level of financial risk which is dependent on the interest cost & preference dividend. Its measures the percentage change in EPS due percentage change in the EBIT. In the given case DOL is 2.29 times which indicates that if EBIT change(increases/decreases) by 1%, then EBIT will change by 2.29%. | ||||
b | Degree of Combined leverage(DCL) = % change in EPS/% change in Sales | |||
Degree of Combined leverage(DCL) = 402%/123%= 3.27 times | ||||
DCL denotes the level of total risk or combined risk which is dependent on the fixed cost, interest cost & preference dividend. Its measures the percentage change in EPS due percentage change in the Sales. In the given case DOL is 3.27 times which indicates that if Sales change(increases/decreases) by 1%, then EBIT will change by 3.27%. |
