What is Total Leverage?
——————————————–
The percentage change in Net profit compared to Sales is known as Total Leverage. Total Leverage is a metric that determines how sensitive Net Income is to changes in Sales.
Formula
——————————————–
Total Leverage Formula = % change in Net Profit / % change in Sales
= Operating Leverage x Financial Leverage
Interpretation
——————————————–
– More sensitivity could be due to higher Operating Leverage (higher fixed costs) and Financial Leverage (higher debt).
– To determine total leverage, 3-10 years of data should be used.
