At an output level of 62,000 units, you calculate that the degree of operating leverage is 3.70. Suppose fixed costs are $280,000. What is the operating cash flow at 56,000 units? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) Operating cash flow $ What is the new degree of operating leverage? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161.) Degree of operating leverage
Operating leverage= Contribution margin/Operating cash flow
Contribution margin=Operating cash flow+Fixed costs
So, 3.7=(Operating cash flow+Fixed costs)/Operating cash flow
Operating cash flow=$280,000/2.7
Operating cash flow = $103703.7
So, contribution margin for 62,000 units=$103703.7+$280,000= $383703.7
Contribution margin for 56,000 units= $383703.7*56,000/65,000 =$346571.09
Operating cash flow for 56,000 units= Contribution margin-Fixed costs= $346571.09-$280,000= $66571
New degree of operating leverage= Contribution margin/Operating cash flow = $346571.09/$66571=5.206
