Question

Check my w Required information The Foundational 15 (LO5-1, LO5-3, LO5-4, LO5-5, LO5-6, LO5-7, LO5-8] (The following information applies to the questions displayed below.) 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 Variable expenses Contribution margin Fixed expenses Net operating income $ 15,000 9,000 6,000 3,120 $ 2,880 Foundational 5-15 15. 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 $3,120 and the total fixed expenses are $9,000. 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.) Increase in net operating income 17.39%

Answer 1

Contribution margin = $15,000 - $3,120 = $11,880

Net operating income remains the same.

Degree of operating leverage = $11,880 / $2,880 = 4.13

% increase in net operating income = Degree of operating leverage X % increase in sales

= 4.13 X 5

= 20.65%
