Answer:
A. 37,500 balls
B.2.67
Explanation:
A. Compution for the CM ratio and the break-even point in balls.
First step is to calculate the Contribution margin
Selling price $25 100%
Variable expenses $15 60%
Contribution margin $10 40%
($25-$15)
Now let calculate the CM ratio and the break-even point in balls using this formula
Unit sales to break even=Fixed expenses/Unit contribution margin
Let plug in the formula
Unit sales to break even=$375,000/$10
Unit sales to break even= 37,500 balls
Therefore the CM ratio and the break-even point in balls will be 37,500 balls
b. Computation for the degree of operating leverage at last year
Using this formula
Degree of operating leverage =Contribution margin/Net operating income
Let plug in the formula
Degree of operating leverage=$600,000/$225,000=
Degree of operating leverage = 2.67 (rounded)
Therefore the degree of operating leverage at last year will be 2.67
