Answer:

The degree of operating leverage and the expected percent change in income, respectively, are 3.0 and 24%. The right answer is E.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the degree of operating leverage we would have to use the following formula:

opearting leverage=<u>contribution margin</u>

                                  operating income

operating leverage=<u>$72,000</u>

                                  $24,000

operating leverage=3.0

In order to calculate the degree of expected percent change in income we would have to use the following formula:

percent change in income=percent change in sales×operating leverage

percent change in income=8%×3

percent change in income=24%

The degree of operating leverage and the expected percent change in income, respectively, are 3.0 and 24%
