    A.

    If Grommit increases leverage so that its interest expense rises by $16.1M its net income will therefore fall by the after-tax interest expense.

    B.

    For the same increase in interest expense the free cash flow will not be affected.

    Explanation:

    A.

    If Grommit increases leverage so that its interest expense rises by $16.1M its net income will therefore fall by the after-tax interest expense.

    40.13M - 16.1 * (1-0.30)

    =40.13M-15.8

    =$24.33M

    B.

    For the same increase in interest expense the free cash flow will not be affected.
