Solution:

EPS = "\\frac{Net\\; income}{No.\\; of \\; outstanding \\; equity \\; shares}"

No. of outstanding equity shares = 10,000

Net income = EBIT – Interest – Taxes

EBT or PBT = EBIT – Interest = 30,000 – 10,000 = 20,000

Taxes = 50"\\% \\times" 20,000 = 10,000

Net income = 20,000 – 10,000 = 10,000

EPS = 10,000/10,000 = 1

 

DFL = EBIT/EBIT – Interest

= "\\frac{EBIT}{EBIT - Interest} =\\frac{30,000}{30,000 - 10,000} = \\frac{30,000}{20,000} = 1.5"

 

When EBIT increases to 50,000:

EBT or PBT = EBIT – Interest = 50,000 – 10,000 = 40,000

Taxes = 50"\\% \\times" 40,000 = 20,000

Net income = 40,000 – 20,000 = 20,000

EPS = "\\frac{20,000}{10,000} = 2"

 

DFL = "\\frac{EBIT}{EBIT - Intrest} = \\frac{50,000}{50,000 - 10,000} = \\frac{50,000}{40,000} = 1.25"

 

When EBIT increases to 80,000:

EBT or PBT = EBIT – Interest = 80,000 – 10,000 = 70,000

Taxes = 50"\\% \\times" 70,000 = 35,000

Net income = 70,000 – 35,000 = 35,000

EPS = "\\frac{35,000}{10,000} = 3.5"

 

DFL = "\\frac{EBIT}{EBIT - Interest}" = "\\frac{80,000}{80,000 - 10,000} = \\frac{80,000}{70,000} = 1.14"
