 Answer: 64.47%
Explanation:
Units produced in October = 17470
Units production in the most efficient way = 27,100
Therefore, the capacity utilization rate in October for the factory will be:
= Units produced in October / Units production in the most efficient way 
= 17470 / 27100
= 0.6447
= 64.47%
The capacity utilization rate in October for this factory is 64.47%.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The DRS's EBIT will be $205,920.
Explanation:
Degree of operating leverage measures how EBIT will change with change in sales
Degree of operating leverage (DOL) = % change in EBIT / % change in sales
In our case, DOL = 3.2x
Sales forecast = $300,000
Actual sales = $313,500
% change in sales = (Actual sales - forecast )/ forecast = (313,500 - 300,000) / 300,000 
                               = 4.5%
EBIT forecast = $180,000
Now putting everything in DOL formula
3.2 = % change in EBIT / % change in sales = % change in EBIT / 4.5
% change in EBIT = 3.2 * 4.5 
                              = 14.4%
Actual EBIT = Forecast *(1 + % change) 
                     = 180,000*(1 + 0.014)
                     = $205,920
Therefore, The DRS's EBIT will be $205,920.
