A. B. C. D. E. F.Explanation
The Degree of Operating Leverage (DOL) measures the percentage change in EBIT that results from a given change in sales. The DOL can be calculated using several methods, including one that is based on unit sales. This version of the DOL equation is as follows: {DOL = [(Sales in units(average sales price - variable cost per unit) / (sales in units(average sales price - variable cost per unit) - total fixed operating costs]}. Of the choices listed, only the number of common shares outstanding is not incorporated into the DTL equation. In fact, the number of common shares outstanding is not factored into any of the equations used to calculate
DOL.
