CEVAP:

The degree of total leverage shows the combined effects of operating leverage and financial leverage on a company’s earnings. Hence, DTL measures the sensitivity in the EPS relative to a percentage variation in the sales revenue. Operating leverage is an indicator of business risk and financial leverage is a measure of financial risk. Therefore, total leverage indicates the combined effects of the cost structure and capital structure of a firm on its net profit. Degree of total leverage is the product of DOL and DFL.
