Answer #1

Hi There,

Here is my answer to the given question.

A. DEGREE OF OPERATING LEVERAGE

Degree of operating leverage  = (Sales - Variable cost) / (Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost)

Particulars GBP (Millions)
Sales        279.75
Variable costs (VC)        150.00
Fixed cost (FC)          65.00
Sales-VC        129.75
Sales-VC-FC          64.75
Degree of operating leverage            2.00

B. EBIT IF COMPANY SALES VOLUME INCREASES BY 25%

EBIT = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost

Particulars Calculation GBP (Millions)
Sales 15,000,000*125%*18.65        349.69
Contribution Margin        162.19
Variable cost 15,000,000*125%*10        187.50
Fixed cost Given          65.00
Earnings before interest & Tax (EBIT)          97.19

C. DEGREE OF FINANCIAL LEVERAGE

Degree of financial leverage = EBIT / EBIT - Interest expense

= 64.75 / 64.75 - 3.50

= 1.057

Particulars GBP (Millions)
Sales        279.75
