Answer 1

New expected operatimg income is $ 45,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Degree of Operating leverage = %change in operating income

% change in sales

2.5 = % change in operating income

20%

2.5 × 0.2 = % change in operating income

0.5 or 50% = % change in operating income

50% = x-30,000

30,000

0.5× 30,000 = x- 30,000

15,000 + 30,000 = x

$45000 = x
