Answer:

A

Explanation:

DOL =  Percentage change in EBIT / percentage change in sales

EPS = {(EBIT - Interest) × (1 - T) } / Shares

The firm has no debt, so interest would be zero

EPS = EBIT × (1 - T) / Shares.

Tax rate and number of outstanding shares remain unchanged.

Percentage Change in EPS = EBIT.

Percentage Change in EPS = (6.5 / 4) - 1 = 0.625 = 62.5%

EBIT = 62.5%

Percentage change in sales= 20%

DOL =  62.5% / 20% =  3.13

faust18 [17]

Answer:

d) <u>cash flow</u>

Explanation:

Small businesses are characterized by limited scale of operations and small quantum of revenues. Thus, small businesses in their initial stages have to deal with the common problem of shortage of funds owing to delay in receipts from debtors owing to relaxed credit terms.

The receipts are not received on time while the expenses accumulate which leads to a situation of cash crunch wherein it gets difficult to meet expenses and liabilities.

Thus, to avoid such situations businesses have to consider their credit policies and credit allowing limit so as to ensure enough cash to meet day to day working capital requirements.

This points towards being careful of cash inflows and outflows and efficient management of cash flows, keeping check on receipts and payments to ensure smooth operations.
