Change 1%
EBIT $3,917,960 $3,957,140
Less: Interest -$2,322,170 -$2,322,170
Earning before Tax (EBT) $1,595,790 $1,634,970
Degree of Financial Leverage = EBIT/(EBT) 2.455185206 2.42031387
Earning per share / EBIT = DOL
EPS = EBIT/DOL $1,595,790.00 $1,634,969.60
Change IN EPS= ($1,634,969.60- $1,595,790)/$1,595,790 2.455%
