Fixed expenses associated with the game total $415,000 per year, and variable expenses are $46 per game. Production of the game is entrusted to a printing contractor. Variable expenses consist mostly of payments to this contractor.

Required:

b. Compute the degree of operating leverage.
c. Compute the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year.
d. Compute the expected total dollar net operating income for next year. (Do not prepare an income statement; use the degree of operating leverage to compute your answer.)

Answer 1

Part a

contribution format income statement

Sales $1,643,400

Less Variable Costs ($1,145,400)

Contribution $498,000

Less Fixed Costs ($415,000)

Net Income (Loss) $83,000

Part b

Part c

Part d

Step-by-step explanation:

Contribution Income Statement separates variable costs and fixed costs as shown above.

Degree of operating leverage = Contribution ÷ Earnings Before Interest and Tax

= $498,000 ÷ $83,000

= 6.00

Part c and Part d

Since there is missing information related to these parts here are the explanations.
