Answer:

A 15% increase in sales resulted in a 40% increase in net income for Company A and a 60% increase in net income for Company B. B
Ivahew [28]

company B has the greater operating leverage

What is operating leverage?

A cost-accounting method called operating leverage assesses how much a company or project can raise operating income by raising revenue. A company with significant operating leverage creates sales with a high gross margin and low variable costs.

The break-even point of a business is determined using operating leverage, which also aids in determining the right selling prices to cover all expenditures and make a profit.

Regardless of whether they sell any units of product, businesses with significant operational leverage must cover a bigger amount of fixed costs each month.

Low-operating-leverage businesses may have high variable costs that are directly related to sales, but they also have fewer monthly fixed expenses.
