Working
Sales | $ 350,000.00 |
Less: Variable cost | $ 100,000.00 |
Contribution | $ 250,000.00 |
Less: Fixed Cost | $ 150,000.00 |
Operating profit | $ 100,000.00 |
The data in the above question has net income but we use Operating income for calculating degree of operating leverage.
Degree of Operating Leverage | = | Contribution Margin/Net Operating income |
Degree of Operating Leverage | = | 250000/100000 |
Degree of Operating Leverage | = | 2.5 |
