To determine whether the answers provided for questions 5 and 6 are correct, let's break down the concepts of combined leverage and degree of financial leverage and see which answers align with their definitions.
5) Combined leverage is concerned with the relationship between changes in EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) and changes in net income. The formula for combined leverage is:
Combined Leverage = Percentage change in EBIT / Percentage change in net income
Answer D) "changes in EBIT and changes in net income" represents the correct relationship for combined leverage. Therefore, the answer is correct.
6) The degree of financial leverage examines the impact of changes in EBIT on changes in EPS (earnings per share). The formula for degree of financial leverage is:
Degree of Financial Leverage = Percentage change in EPS / Percentage change in EBIT
Among the provided options, answer B) "changes in volume and changes in EPS" correlates with the correct relationship for degree of financial leverage. Thus, the answer is also correct.
Thus, both answers are correct:
5) Answer D - changes in EBIT and changes in net income.
6) Answer B - changes in volume and changes in EPS.
Yes, your answers for questions 5 and 6 are correct.
For question 5, combined leverage is concerned with the relationship between changes in EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) and changes in net income. Therefore, answer choice D - changes in EBIT and changes in net income - is the correct answer.
For question 6, the degree of financial leverage is concerned with the relationship between changes in volume (sales) and changes in EPS (earnings per share). Therefore, answer choice B - changes in volume and changes in EPS - is the correct answer.
