Degree of total leverage (dtl) is 2.
Degree of total leverage (dtl) is the ratio which compares the rate of change in earnings per share to the rate of change in revenue from sales.
It is also referred to degree of combined leverage.
DTL= Degree of operating leverage × Degree of financial leverage
Degree of operating leverage = Contribution ÷ EBIT
Degree of financial leverage = EBIT ÷ (EBIT - Interest expense)
Contribution = Sales - Variable cost
In this ques,
Selling price is given to be $5 per unit and total units are 10000. THus, sales is equal to $50000.
Variable cost = $3 × 10000 = $30000
Thus, contribution = $50000-$30000 = $20000
EBIT is given to be $12000
Interest expense is given to be $2000
DTL= Degree of operating leverage × Degree of financial leverage
= (Contribution ÷ EBIT) × (EBIT ÷ (EBIT - Interest expense))
= (20000÷12000) × (12000 ÷ (12000-2000))
= (20000÷12000) ×(12000 ÷ 10000)
= 20000 ÷10000
= 2
Thus, DTL is 2.
