Question

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):

Sales $ 30,000

Variable expenses 16,500

Contribution margin 13,500

Fixed expenses 7,830

Net operating income $ 5,670 Required:

13. Using the degree of operating leverage, what is the estimated percent increase in net operating income of a 5% increase in sales? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

14. 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 $7,830 and the total fixed expenses are $16,500. 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.)

In other words, assume that the total variable expenses are $7,830 and the total fixed expenses are $16,500. Given this scenario and assuming that total sales remain the same. Using the degree of calculated operating leverage, what is the estimated percent increase in net operating income of a 5% increase in sales? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
