(a) Degree of operating leverage= Contribution margin/Net income
Manual system= $360000/240000= 1.5
Computerized system= $1080000/240000= 4.5
(b) Contribution margin ratio= Contribution margin*100/Sales
Manual system= $360000*100/1800000= 20%
Computerized system= $1080000*100/1800000= 60%
If sales is increased by $118000, the net income for each alternative will increases by
Increase in net income | |
Manual system ($118000*20%) | $23600 |
Computerized system ($118000*60%) | $70800 |
Computerized system will produce the higher net income as the net income of Computerized system is greater than Manual system
(c) Break even sales= Fixed cost/Contribution margin ratio
Manual system= $120000/20%= $600000
Computerized system= $840000/60%= $1400000
Margin of safety= Actual sales-Break even sales
Manual system= $1800000-600000= $1200000
Computerized system= $1800000-1400000= $400000
Margin of safety ratio= Margin of safety/Actual sales
Manual system= $1200000/1800000= 0.67
Computerized system= $400000/1800000= 0.22
Using the margin of safety ratio, Manual system alternative will sustain the greater decline in sales before operating a loss as the margin of safety ration of manual system is greater than the computerized system.
