Solution

To calculate the Degree of Financial Leverage (DFL), we need to use the following formula:

DFL = EBIT / (EBIT - Interest)

First, we need to calculate the annual interest expense. The firm has $3,000,000 in debt that costs 10% annually. So, the annual interest expense is:

Interest = Debt * Interest Rate = 3,000,000103,000,000 * 10% = 300,000

Now, we can substitute EBIT and Interest into the DFL formula:

DFL = EBIT / (EBIT - Interest) = 2,000,000/(2,000,000 / (2,000,000 - $300,000) = 1.176

So, the Degree of Financial Leverage (DFL) for the firm is approximately 1.18.
