First , Debt is considered a more effective source of positive financial leverage than preferred stock because the interest on debt is tax deductible but dividend on preferred stock is not. 

 

Second, Financial Leverage is desirable when rate or return on investment  using these amounts of money have been obtained from bank loan is more than the bank interests or dividends parables.

A leverage is favorable when sales and EBIT are rising , as it will maximize  EPS( Earning per share) and dividend per share and also market price per share.

Clearly it will happen when cost of capital is less than ROI.
