Question

  

   

Assume that the amounts of the company’s total variable expenses and total fixed expenses were reversed. In other words, assume that the total variable expenses are $7,668 and the total fixed expenses are $13,400. Under this scenario and assuming that total sales remain the same, what is the degree of operating leverage? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Oslo Company prepared the following contribution format income statement based on a sales volume of 1,000 units (the relevant range of production is 500 units to 1,500 units):

Explanation / Answer

Contribution margin = sales -Variable cost

                            = 24200 - 7668

                              = 16532

Net Income =Contribution -fixed cost

                   = 16532 - 13400

                    = $ 3132

Degree of operating margin = contribution margin /net income

                                       = 16532 / 3132

                                       = 5.28
