2-You estimate that your cattle farm will generate $0.20 million of profits on sales of $4 million under normal economic conditions and that the degree of operating leverage is 5.
a. What will profits be if sales turn out to be $3.2 million?
b. b. What will profits be if sales turn out to be $4.8 million?
a)
DOL = Percentage change in profit / Percentage change in sales
Percentage change in sales = ($3.2 m – $4 m) / $4 m = -20%
Percentage Change in profit = Percentage change in sales * DOL
Percentage Change in profit = -20% * 5
Percentage Change in profit = -100%
New Profit = Old Profit * (1 + % Change in profit)
New Profit = $0.20 m * (1 + (-1))
New Profit = 0
b)
DOL = Percentage change in profit / Percentage change in sales
Percentage change in sales = ($4.8 m – 4 m) / 4m = 20%
Percentage Change in profit = Percentage change in sales * DOL
Percentage Change in profit = 20% * 5
Percentage Change in profit = 100%
New Profit = Old Profit * (1 + % Change in profit)
New Profit = $0.20 m * (1 + 1)
New Profit = $0.40 million
