A high degree of financial leverage means that a company has a lot of debt, and a low degree of financial leverage means that a company has very little debt.<\/p>\n<p>The sensitivity of EPS with respect to % change in level of EBIT is a measure of how much a company&#8217;s earnings per share (EPS) will change for every 1% change in its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). A high degree of financial leverage means that a company&#8217;s EPS will be more sensitive to changes in EBIT, and a low degree of financial leverage means that a company&#8217;s EPS will be less sensitive to changes in EBIT.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a brief explanation of each option:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option A: sensitivity of EBIT with respect of % change with respect to output. This is not a measure of financial leverage. Financial leverage measures how much debt a company uses to finance its assets, not how sensitive a company&#8217;s EBIT is to changes in output.<\/li>\n<li>Option B: % variation in the level of production. This is also not a measure of financial leverage. Financial leverage measures how much debt a company uses to finance its assets, not how much the level of production varies.<\/li>\n<li>Option C: sensitivity of EPS with respect to % change in level of EBIT. This is the correct answer. Financial leverage measures how much debt a company uses to finance its assets, and the sensitivity of EPS with respect to % change in level of EBIT is a measure of how much a company&#8217;s EPS will change for every 1% change in its EBIT.<\/li>\n<li>Option D: no change with EBIT and EPS. This is also not a measure of financial leverage. Financial leverage measures how much debt a company uses to finance its assets, and it does not measure how EBIT and EPS change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;sensitivity of EBIT with respect of % change with respect to output&#8221;
