Relation to fixed cost strategies of the two companies
9.
Explanation of Solution
Relation to fixed cost strategies of the two companies
- Here in this case fixed cost refers to interest expenses.
- Interest expenses in company E are $ 90,000 and in company S are $30,000. Interest expenses are higher in company E than in company S
- Due to higher interest expenses, change in net income gets more effected due to change in sales.
- Higher fixed cost is inversely related to times interest earned method.
- So if sales get increased, E company enjoys higher percent increase in income in comparison to company S
- If sales get decreased, S company experiences smaller percent change in net income in comparison to company E.
