Answer:
Instructions are listed below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= 5,000 units
Selling price= $75
The unit variable cost= $45
Total fixed cost equals= $49,500
Operating income at 5,000 units sold is $100,500.
Degree of operating leverage= 1.5
Now Head-First expects to increase sales by 10% next year.
1) % Change on income= ?
We know that the degree of operating leverage is calculated by the following formula:
degree of operating leverage= %change in income/ %change in sales
1.5= %change in income/0.10
0.15= %change in income
15%= %change in income
2) Net operating income
Sales= 5,500*75= 412,500
Total variable cost= 5,500*45= (247,500)
Contribution margin= 165,000
Fixed costs= (49,500)
Net operating income= 115,500
Change in income= (115,500 - 100,500)/100,500= 0.1493= 14.93%
