Leverage

• A given percentage change in sales revenue

often causes a bigger percentage change in

earnings.

– Cause: ______________ costs

– Name: “_________________”

• Kinds of leverage (& their causes):– Operating leverage (fixed________________

Degree of Operating Leverage

• The degree of operating leverage (DOL) measures the

sensitivity of ________________ to changes in sales.

• DOL can be calculated by:

– Interval estimate

– point estimate

Degree of Financial Leverage

• The degree of financial leverage (DFL) measures the

sensitivity of ______________ (or net profit after tax)

to changes in EBIT.

• Like the DOL, DFL can be calculated by:

– interval estimate

– point estimate

• Total leverage can be viewed as the total impact of all

fixed costs in the firm’s operating and financial

structure.

Total Leverage

DTL = DOL x DFL

Total Leverage

Degree of Total Leverage

The relationship between the DTL, DOL, and

DFL is illustrated in the following equation:

Capital Structure Theory• There is an optimal, or target__________________

__________________ that will minimize a firm’s cost

of capital.

• The optimal capital structure balances the benefits of

debt financing against its costs.

• Unfortunately, it is difficult to identify what a firm’s

optimal capital structure is in practice.

Capital Structure Theory• The major benefit of debt financing is the ____

_____________ provided by the federal government regarding interest payments.

• The costs of debt financing include increased probability of bankruptcy caused by debt obligations

Capital Structure Theory

• The probability that debt obligations will lead to bankruptcy depends on a company’s business risk and financial risk.

• Business risk is the risk to the firm of being unable to

cover ____________________________________.

• High business risk is caused by– High fixed operating costs

– Unstable revenues and operating costs

Probability of Bankruptcy

Capital Structure Theory

• The firm’s capital structure is the mix of ___________

and _______________ it uses to finance fixed assets.

• The greater a firm’s use of debt financing, the greater
