Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

a.
Sales 600,000  1.1 = 660,000
Variable costs 300,000  1.1 = 330,000
Total contribution margin 300,000 330,000
Fixed costs 100,000 100,000
EBIT 200,000 230,000
Interest expense 50,000 50,000
Earnings before taxes 150,000 180,000
Taxes (30) 45,000 54,000
Net income 105,000 126,000
Earnings Per Share 10.50 12.60
b. (12.60 - 10.50)/10.50 = .20 or 20; A 10 increase in sales results in a 20 increase in EPS due to leverage.
Classic Burger uses both operating leverage (fixed cost of operations) and financial leverage (debt financing reflected in
interest expense).
