    Taxes @ 35% 29680
    Net income 55,120
    Shares outstanding 16,000

    EBIT 104,000 104,000
    EBIT-I 104,000-19,200 = 84,800= 1.22

    b) DOL
    Q(P-VC) 440,000-240,000 = 200,0000
    Q(P-VC)-F (440,000-240,000)-96,000 200,000-96,000=
    440,000
    104,000= 423x

    I think I figure this problem out on my own!
    answer

    a) Degree of Financial leverage

    EBIT 104,000 = 104,000 = 1.22
    EBIT-I 104,000-19,200 84,800



    b) Degree of Operating Leverage

    S-TVC 440,000-240,000 = 200,000 = 1.92
    S-TVC-FC-I 440,000-240,000-96,000 104,000



    c) Degree of combined leverage

    S-TVC 440,000-240,000 = 200,000 = 2.35
    S-TVC-FC-I 440,000-240,000-96,000-19,200 84,800
