13. What is the Degree of Operating Leverage?
Degree of operating leverage = (sales − variable costs) / (sales − variable costs − fixed costs)
= (1250000-500000)/(1250000-500000-600000)
= 750000/150000
= 5
14. What is the Degree of Financial Leverage?
Degree of Financial Leverage = EBIT/(EBIT-Interest)
= 150000/(150000-80000)
= 150000/70000
= 2.14
15. What is the Degree of Combined Leverage?
Degree of Combined Leverage = Degree of operating leverage *Degree of Financial Leverage
= 5*2.14
= 10.70
