Fun Stones, Inc., has a base level of 477,810 units, Sales price per unit $137.75 and variable cost per unit is $94.08. Total annual operating fixed costs are $6,130,240.

Explanation / Answer

21) Holding period return = P1-P0/Po x 100

Where, P1 = Price at time 1 = $25

Po = Price at time 0 = $23

HPR = $25 - $23/$23 x 100

HPR = 8.70%

24) Degree of operating leverage,DOL = [Q(S-V)] / [Q(S-V)-F]

Where, Q = Quantity in units

S = Sales price per unit

V = Variable cost per unit

F = Fixed cost

DOL = [477,810($137.75-$94.08)] / [477,810($137.75-$94.08) - $6,130,240

DOL =20,865,962.7 /14,735,722.7

DOL = 1.416
