kalps | Financial leverage increases sensitivity of EPS to changes in sales |
setmefree | second degree of leverage- financial leverage-->the greater, the more sensitive EPS to changes in sales/EBIT. first degree of leverage--operating leverage= %of fixed assets --> the greater, the more sensitive EBIT to changes in sales |

I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
