Solution 1:
A. The earnings per share
EPS 2019: $5.99 (1,198,076/200,000)
EPS 2018: $2.90 (579,026/200,000)
B. The degree of operating leverage (DOL)
DOL = 1.16 times
If sales are increased by 10%, operating income will increase by 11.6 times.
C. The degree of financial leverage (DFL)
DFL = 1.10 times
