| For solving this question i assumed that Fixed Cost includes Interest on debenture.
Sales- 10,00,000
Less: Variable Cost - 7,00,000
Contribution = 3,00,000
Less: Fixed Cost before interest - 1,50,000
EBIT - 1,50,000
Less : Interest on Debenture - 50,000
PBT - 1,00,000
Operating Leverage : Contribution/EBIT = 3,00,000/1,50,000
Operating Leverage = 2
Financial Leverage = EBIT / PBT = 1,50,000/1,00,000
Financial Leverage = 1.5
Combined Leverage = OL*FL = 2*1.5 = 3
Working Note:
Fixed Cost Before Interest: 2,00,000 - 50,000 = 1,50,000
