Finance May 26, 2021

Use the following information below to answer the following questions:

Average selling price per unit $12.00

Variable cost per unit $7.00

Units sold 200,000

Fixed costs $220,000

 Interest expense $75,000

Calculate the degree of operating leverage and financial leverage

 

Expert Solution

Computation of the degree of operating leverage:-

Contribution margin = (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) * Number of units sold

= ($12 - $7) * 200,000

= $5 * 200,000

= $1,000,000

EBIT = Contribution margin - Fixed cost

= $1,000,000 - $220,000

= $780,000

EBT = EBIT - Interest expense 

= $780,000 - 75,000

= $705,000

Degree of operating leverage = Contribution margin / EBIT

= $1,000,000 / $780,000

= 1.28

 

Computation of the degree of financial leverage:-

Degree of financial leverage = EBIT / EBT

= $780,000 / $705,000

= 1.11
