Answer 1

4.71 percent increase

Step-by-step explanation:

The increase in the number of units sold is 3.8%

Degree of operating leverage is 1.24

Therefore, the operating cash flow can be calculated as follows:

Increase in the number of units×degree of operating leverage

= 3.8/100×1.24

= 0.038×1.24

= 0.0471×100

= 4.71%

Hence there is a 4.71 percent increase in the operating cash flow
