Explanation / Answer

The formula for calculating the DOL ( Degree of Operating leverage) is                                           DOL = Contribution margin / Net operating income According to the given information, P = Average sales price per unit of Output Q = Units of output VC = Variable cost per unit DOL = Degree of Operating levergae CAlculating the Degree of Operating leverage for the first case: P = Total sales revenue / Total units    = $160,000 / 40,000    = $4 Q = 40,000 units VC = $80,000 / 40,000       = $2 Total fixed costs = $50,000 Net Operating income or EBIT = $30,000 First we have to calculate the value of Contribution margin                           Contribution margin = SAles - Variable cost                                                          = $160,000 - $80,000                                                          = $80,000                                     DOL = $80,000 / $30,000                                              = 2.67 times Therefore, the DOL for the first case is 2.67 times CAlculating the Degree of Operating leverage for the second case: P = Total sales revenue / Total units    = $240,000 / 60,000    = $4 Q = 60,000 units VC = $120,000 / 60,000       = $2 Total fixed costs = $50,000 Net Operating income or EBIT = $70,000 First we have to calculate the value of Contribution margin                           Contribution margin = SAles - Variable cost                                                          = $240,000 - $120,000                                                          = $120,000                                     DOL = $120,000 / $70,000                                              = 1.71times Therefore, the Degree of Operating leverage for the second case is 1.71 times. P = Total sales revenue / Total units    = $240,000 / 60,000    = $4 Q = 60,000 units VC = $120,000 / 60,000       = $2 Total fixed costs = $50,000 Net Operating income or EBIT = $70,000 First we have to calculate the value of Contribution margin                           Contribution margin = SAles - Variable cost                                                          = $240,000 - $120,000                                                          = $120,000                                     DOL = $120,000 / $70,000                                              = 1.71times Therefore, the Degree of Operating leverage for the second case is 1.71 times.
