If financial leverage of a firm is 4, Interest 6,00,000, Operating Leverage is 3, Variable cost to sales is 66.66%, Income tax rate is 30%, Number of Equity Shares 1, 00, 000. Calculate fixed cost and EPS of the firms. (For your reference, OL = Contribution/EBIT; FL = EBIT/EBT and CL = OL*FL)
Ohio Steel has a degree of operating leverage of 2.9. The company predicted EBIT of $332,000 and EPS of $5.7 for the year. Actual EBIT were $284,000 and EPS were $2.42.
