Suppose Kathy sells 2,200 posters. Use the following financial data ($40 sales price, $33 variable cost, $3,710 fixed expenses) to compute her operating leverage factor. If sales volume increases 10%, by what percent will Kathy operating income change? Prove your answer.
First, identify the formula, then compute the operating leverage factor. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Contribution margin | / | Operating income | = | Operating leverage factor |
/ | = |
If sales volume increases 16% by what percent will Kathy operating income change? (Round the percentage change to one decimal place, X.X%)
Operating income will increase by --- %.
Prove your answer. (Round the percentage change to one decimalplace, X.X%)
